Coach Cable is very proud of the Lady Hornets and how they’ve overcome so many obstacles of comprehending the game of basketball. Coach Cable states, “ Although we have not won many games, each game we have competed in, we were granted an opportunity to win. The most valuable thing that I love about this season is that my girls are now becoming “basketball players.” Coach cable also had this to say about her girls, “ Mallory and Jasmine are handling the ball with more confidence. Kenya is blocking out better and Monica is executing her post moves. We aren’t winning a lot of games, but we aren’t losing either. We are getting better.”
The girls will have a chance to improve their record December 8th at 5:30 when they will battle Picayune at home.
