Lady Cougars get ready for new season
By Jennifer Baker, Student Correspondent
|
| The Lady Cougars basketball squad have trained hard for the
2005-06 season. |
Prepare yourself for a season to remember as the Lady Cougars take the court in order to make history.
With new goals and a slightly new team, the Lady Cougars are ready for whatever comes their way.
Last year the team finished with a record of 13-14 overall, a 7-6 record in conference and 6-8 in non-conference games. This season they hope to make some new records of their own.
“Our main goal is to be the first women’s team in college history to go to the regional playoffs. Our ultimate goal is to win the regional tournament,” Head Coach Jeff Allen said.
This year Allen has added a lot of new faces to the team. Six new players have joined the Cougar team. All of the new players had excellent high school careers in basketball and now hope to do the same in college.
Look out for freshman Channing Gann, who will be playing guard for Collin and won a state title at Brock High School. Freshman Aryn Ivy and Laci Skinner from Princeton will play as the forward and guard, respectively, this season. They both won conference in high school. Also, freshman guard Patrice Darden led her high school squad to the regional playoffs. Newcomer forward Brittany Walton averaged six points a game her senior year. Freshman forward Jennifer Crews has also been added to the team.
In anticipation of the new season, the girls have been working hard to be ready for their opponents. Since the school year started, the team has been working on weight lifting, conditioning and scrimmaging. In addition, they have also been working on their offensive and defensive plays.
“We practice six days a week, focusing on all areas of our offensive and defensive schemes. We also have four scrimmages scheduled to help us prepare for our season opener,” Allen said.
Admission is free for students and faculty and general admission costs $3. Visit the Lady Cougar website at www.ccccd.edu/athletics/w_basketball.htm for a schedule, roster and more.
