Girls Full Court Press Works

 From the Capital-Journal

Rossville's full-court press having success

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."
