Last week I got a lot of media attention because I set the school record with 46 points scored in a single game, but there were several other players that performed just as well and helped me break the record.  Without the assists from players like Amber and Paige Guffey and the play of everyone on the court I would not have been able to accomplish what I did.

Amber's performance means a lot to the team.   She scored 51 points in two games, added13 rebounds, and dished out 17 assists.  The things that she does with the ball, like drawing people to her to get the ball back out to the open person it amazing.  She makes the defense be honest.  When she is penetrating they have to make a choice.  Most of the time she will draw two or three people and that leaves me and Angela Mullins open to hit our shots. 

Angela has also been doing a great job this season.  She has gained a lot more confidence and is consistently hitting her shot around the free-throw line.  She is proving that if there is something you do well and work on it a little more there is nothing that anyone can do to stop you.  Everyone on the team has been stepping into their roles and improving with each game.

Earlier in the season we really relied on Amber, Paige, and me to score a lot.  Now we are getting more penetration and drawing the extra defender and are able to get it to the open player and getting more scoring from the rest of the team. 

No matter who has the most points on the scoreboard there are many other people that are getting the assists and screening to help that person get those points. Those are the most important stats and unfortunately they go unnoticed. Most people don't think about those things but that is a huge part of the game

My 46 points were not because of what I did, it was a team effort - I could not have done it alone.

Things like the ice storm that affected the area really bring a team together and I think that helped us refocus for last week's games.  As a team we had a good bond before the storm, but the storm made us want to win more because if we didn't people would say it was because the storm took it out of our rhythm.  It wouldn't be the team it would be the storm.  It took dedication from the team to stick around and do what we could to stay focused.

It was a big motivator and a challenge.  Are we going to lose, or are we going to keep on the path we were on before the storm.  Everyone responded well and we are continuing to perform like we know we can.
