As the starters were introduced and ran on the court, they each threw a rolled up t-shirt into the crowd. Gabbi turned at mid-court and threw hers on a line to the 7th row and hit her father right in the hands. It's about the only good thing she did all night. 0 points, 2 assists, 3 steals against 7 turnovers. She was pressured by a very quick defender and didn't handle it well. Edwards had by far the better night.
Lanesia got the start because of her speed, and she was a monster on defense, but not really the team player on offense - not a matter of attitude, I think, as much as seeing the court and passing ability.
Penza got a little time at the 4, but that still looks like a rotation between Maddie and Shaya. Penza got more time at the wing. She's seriously slow, but combines great passing ability with a knack of always being in the right place at the right time.
Derica proved that the exhibition game shooting was a fluke. Great tonight with a quick release. Made them pay big time for playing a zone.
With better, quicker post defenders tonight, we saw that Kay-Kay is better than Vivi, though both are good, and EJ has a lot of talent and some serious hops, but a lot to learn yet also.
