From the Capital-Journal
Rossville used a
full-court press against Riley County, something that they've showcased already
and will continue to use despite a short bench.
In the third quarter,
it began to give Riley County trouble and allowed them to get back in the game
and that's despite having just 12 players in the program.
"We worked on it ever since the season started," said Bell. "It works better for our girls, the personnel we have. We do a lot of running during practice. They're in good shape."
Senior Caylee Douglas, Perine, Haehn, Mitchell are all quick with active hands forcing turnovers and applying high pressure constantly.
"If all five players on the court are committed, we're a tough team to play," said Bell. "Tonight, felt like we had two or three per possession, we have to have all five. It's something we're implementing, doesn't always work in the first quarter but wears teams down in the second or third."
Kansas Wesleyan U. lost their Jan 8 girls basketball game with Bethel College.
Amanda Hill had 10 pts, 5 rebounds, 4 steals, and 3 assists. Her sister Caila had 2 pts, 2 rebounds, 4 steals, and 3 assists. For game stats and recap, go to: KWU coyotes game stats
