Great job last night!

Slugfest, Storm v St William rematch

The girls played tough against a very determined St William team allowing their opponent only 5 points in the entire first half. The second quarter was probably the difference in the game where a strong Storm defense held St William scoreless. There is no way to win if you can't score, it's that simple.

St William made a big push in the second half with stand out performances by number 44 (Kaitlyn) and number 33 (Emily) who left everything they had out on the floor. It wasn't enough to overcome the outstanding defense and rebounding of the Storm who came away with a hard won 24-19 victory.

Every girl on the Storm contributed to the victory by playing with determination and effort and they should be very proud of coming away with a win. St William is a good team with talented players and wins against them do not come easily.

These two teams will be meeting one last time this summer on August 12th at St Hyacinth gym. Both teams will be ready next time and it should prove to be yet another exciting match-up.

Commitment

Ask coach Hudson about commitment. Rushing back from a b-day party in Queens on a Sunday evening to practice with only three girls.



The girls worked very hard and these three wolves will certainly be ready to meet the challenge of St William on Wednesday night.

Sunday Practice

The Storm will once again face St William this coming Wednesday at 7:30, this time at St Hyacinth's gym. This is a tough team with talented players that will likely be better prepared this time around. It would be nice to welcome them to our home gym with the third Storm victory of the season. That means this Sunday's 6:00 practice at the GCHS gym will be an especially important one.

Last Monday's victory came after an intense Sunday practice and turned out to be a great game!

Practice pays off!!!

I am so proud of each and every one of the girls tonight. An excellent display of team ball and they truly unleashed the wolves on Holy Family. I was most impressed with the number of assists during the game and their tenacity on defense. I was extremely impressed with how well they ran the plays to perfection. Watchout Liberty-here comes the St. Hyacinth storm. Wawa!!!

Great Game!

Wow! Every single girl contributed in a convincing win over Holy Family tonight.
Rebounding, defense and unselfish play led the way to victory. Great passing brought the team seven assists, a new team record!

It must be very rewarding for coach Allen to see the girls doing all the things during the game that they have been working so hard on in practice.





Congratulations!

Practice 7/12

The girls are practicing and working very hard to get better. Practice is where games and whole seasons are won and lost. Not only are the girls working hard on improving their individual skills but they also learn to run the plays to perfection.



If these girls play as hard as they practiced Sunday evening they will be unstoppable in Monday nights game.

All the girls certainly seemed to have a lot of fun at the NY Liberty game last night!

THANKS! Anne and Chris for putting together a great night and a wonderful experience for all of our girls.

Game One

Congratulations to the Storm on their first win of the summer season!







Defense and rebounding kept a very good St William team from playing their game. We will be facing these girls again before you know it and next time they will be ready for us!

A Storm is coming

The girls are going all out at practice in preparation for their first game on Monday night. If the effort and intensity they put into their game Monday is anywhere close to their effort in practice.... LOOK OUT!



Scrimmages against their teammates may well be the most difficult opponent these girls can possibly face right now. They are challenging each other in practice and pushing one another to become much better basketball players. This should prove to be a very exciting summer season!
