Let The Games Begin

BY: Jordan Pasalaqua

The Madison Lady Blue Streaks basketball team are 5 and 14 this year so far. The girls will be playing Chardon on February 10th at Chardon High School, and they will also be playing them February 17th for tournament play. The last time the Lady Blue Streaks played Chardon the game was close with a final score of 29-35. The Lady Blue Streaks have been working hard at their practices to get ready for these two games against Chardon.
To lead the girls to a victory they need to make better decisions on their passes and have to see the floor better. The girls need to play better as a team and trust each other more on and off the court. The girls expectations for this game are to play a little tougher because they know what to expect now from their recent game with Chardon. For these two games against Chardon they will be missing two key players due to injuries. Mykayla Askew is out with a torn ACL injury and Aly Berry is out with an ankle injury, both of them are out for the rest of the season.

Coach Smith expectations for these two games are to work together more and talk more on the court. He wants the girls to keep the same intensity throughout the whole game and stay focused, but Smith is more focused on the tournament game against Chardon because it's more important so the girls can move farther into the tournament. Captain Shyenne Ledford said that they have to play more as a team and need to stay calm throughout the game because the girls have been rushing their plays in the past games and have been losing the ball due to bad passes. The girls are ready to come out with a win this Saturday.
