Recap, Cardinal Night and on to Central MO

Last week we had our JUCO scrimmages...we saw a lot of great things out of our girls as well as somethings we need to work on. The girls would agree it was nice to play someone outside of practice but we have work to do before games start.
Tonight is CARDINAL NIGHT! Come join the fun; it starts at 9pm. This is a great chance to watch both the men's and women's teams play a short inner-squad scrimmage. There will be games and prizes for all to participate in! This is a great opportunity to meet your Jewell Basketball Teams! We look forward to seeing you tonight.
Tomorrow we travel to Central MO for our second scrimmage starting at 5pm. We are excited to see the improvements we've made and new things we've added. The girls continue to work hard each day and look forward to playing outside of practice. This scrimmage will be a good test for us; we look forward to the battle on the hardwood!

Another great day to be a Cardinal!

First scrimmage ahead

Preseason was a success for the team. All the girls worked hard and we made it through with minimal injuries. A few pulled muscles, a couple turned ankles, and mostly sore bodies...but it's to be expected through preseason. I think the girls favorite conditioning day was running in the rain on the track!

Practice has been going great. Each day is a learning day, another day to improve and another day filled with excitement as we watch the players build together. The young one's (freshman) are coming in to their own, as the returners are leading the way. We have our first scrimmage against Penn Valley and JCCC tomorrow, thurday Oct., 22 at 6pm. The girls are ready to play someone other than themselves! Everyone is more than welcome to come out and watch. It will be a good test for us to see where we're at and what we really need to focus on.

I hope everyone is ready for an exciting season...we are!

Go Cardinals!
