With a heavy 60 to 48 loss for the girls varsity basketball team on Thursday, January 19, the MMCRU Royals took away a very valuable loss. They took experiences and goals to the next basketball game. Coach Young stated “We got ahead early by communicating on defense and sharing the ball with each other. We are making progress every game regarding basketball skills, offensive movement, hustle, communication, and defensive positioning.”
Their goals were set forth as the game proceeded. Their agenda was to improve their mental game, so the small things don’t defer and stop them from success. “They need to demonstrate grit and team above their personal gain,” stated by Couch Young.
Another goal set forth for the team is to build a stronger chemistry amongst themselves. Offense is improving through this goal, but the coaches would like to see more scoring on the offensive. They also looked to improve knowing the team strategy and to utilizing basketball IQ.
