Great Job with the updates Goldie. But question.....you mentioned Skinner out for injury then back in and missed 8 straight from the line. She is a great player and I know this is uncharacteristic of her. Is she OK, or did the injury affect her shooting?

 

Congrats to both teams on great seasons and a big shout out to GRC on the win.

She is OK just a off night at the FT line for most of the Cards. They must improve this for the regional next week. I am sure they will address this in practice this week.

Skinner was never injured during this game. She was in early foul trouble in the first quarter with 2, other big for GRC picked up 2 in the first half as well. Skinner wasn't very good from the foul line. I think at one point in the 2nd half she was 0-8 from the line. GRC better be thankful for the 3 line in the first half with Taylor, Williams, Flowers or else this is not a 5 point lead at the half for GRC.

 

On another note, GRC found just what they needed in a immediate transfer, what they were lacking, a guard that can handle the ball and score.

Is this the young Lady who was the subject of a lot of controversy in another thread? Something to do with a mid season school change?

Yes- Flowers is the players name. She is wearing #50 in the picture above.

If you read my update of the game, post #4 . I stated she was shaken up when going for a rebound and she went out of the game , but came back in.

We must have watched two different games then! She was taken out in the first half for foul trouble, run back in for offense situations, and when dead ball whistles blew, removed each time on defense to protect her. Picked up the 3rd personal foul early in the third quarter and was removed. She was then removed out of the game after going 0-8 from the foul line down the stretch because it was obvious that Bourbon was going to foul her and she wasn't even close at the line. That might have been the shake up!

The play Goldie is referring to was a play in the 2nd half. Skinner caught a "home run ball" pass over bourbon's press. She scored and as she turned to go on defense she and Yazell from bourbon collided. The officials stopped the game and coach Graham removed Skinner from the game to ensure she wasn't hurt.

You are correct that she struggled from the FT line and that she was being used in offense/defense situation as it become Bourbon's game plan to foul her if she had the ball.

This is the play I am talking about and mentioned it in the update thread but not to this detail. Thanks for explaining it for the rest of the posters. :thumb:
