It's been an interesting perspective as I haven't seen them play every game but have seen them in segments. I have to say this team has really come along and is very good right now. They are def a contender in my book.

 

They are a much much different team than what I saw before the lex cath tournament. They seemed to have started figuring the pieces out and the latest version I have seen is much much different in a very positive sense.

 

Baily Harney seems to be setteling in quiet nicely.

 

Meier is now playing with energy and is a beast when she gets after it

 

Niece is doing a much better job handling point duties. When the ball moves there energy level is different

 

Harmeyer is getting hot and she feeds off her shooting. Hope she continues to develop and not just rely on shooting

 

Jones is providing some speed and energy on both ends of the floor. Can be key for this team at times. Shooting is off so look out when she gets dialed in

 

Gilliam has really handled some adversity with grace. She seems to have relaxed is playing very solid basketball right now. I believe recently rewarded by moving back into the starting rotation

 

Buckner is starting to get a lot healthier and gaining a little more confidence from her injury. She is going to be key for this team to run deep. Need her length and athleticism against the top teams

 

Stamper comes off the bench and is a warrior. She is pressing things so she comes in and helps tremendously

 

Bush started a few games to challenge Meier and I believe it helped both players. Her size and athleticism can bother opponents on the defensive end

 

Dressman also can come off the bench and provide some needed muscle and size at times.

 

Vickers is also earning a level of trust and is very stable contributor when called upon

 

This team can go deep and can be scary good if they continue to improve defensively. Defensive rebounding is the biggest weakness I see in them right now as some girls sk play haven't figured out how to block out. They also have to continue to work on securing the ball. They can get sloppy in spurts

 

Good luck ladies the rest of the year

Would be nice to see them make a run.

They beat Scott County tonight.
