Week #22 - Badger Varsity Girls Take Down Foxcroft

Varsity Girls Basketball - Last season, the Varsity Girls played a tough game against Foxcroft, losing on the road. While the team never quit, Tandem did not score double digits, while Foxcroft had 41. Imagine their surprise when the 25-26 Tandem Varsity Girls Badgers entered the gym.  

 

Tandem held their opponent to twenty total points, earning their third victory of the season. The Badgers won 27-20, and are currently 3-4 in the conference, having improved dramatically - both from last season but also from the start of this season! In practice this week, Reggie had the team work on full court lay ups, and playing through contact, and that was on display up in Middleburg. Annie continues to be the kind of leader coaches covet, handling the ball handling duties, attacking the basket, and setting up her teammates. 

Defensively, Annie works closely with Juli, who had a big three at Stuart Hall, and forces tons of turnovers. "We won because our press was so effective," Maya reflected after the game, and she is a big reason why. Maya plays at the top of the press, guarding the inbounds passer, and getting lots of deflections. On the rare occasion Foxcroft got across half court, Ginger was there for a steal - and Marilyn for rebounds. Aoife was dominant inside on both ends - scoring at the rim and defending the paint! What a presence! Sophie continues to be an offensive threat,  while the Badgers also got key contributions from Leelee, Maeve, Catriona and Nieve!
