Second Half Woes Continue to Strike the Lady Chiefs

Game Date
Jan 29, 2020
Score
: 42
AIRPORT HIGH SCHOOL: 60

Another solid performance put together in half one by the Lady Chiefs. 7 Games ago, we walked into the half down by 20 to Airport. Talking about our defense and the need for it to get better. Tonight was a different tale. The half time deficit was just 6. And with a couple free throws and lay ups that we connect on, we probably go in with the lead. 

The first half was by far our best defensive half of the year. All of the things we have talked about getting better at we succeeded. Still had some mistakes but so many big stops as well. Offensively, we made some plays but missed some big ones. That hurt us. Layups get us and when we start finishing, the tides will turn in our favor, but it was nice to see the opportunities there. Thomas had a big 3 and a free throw, and Pritt, Belair, and Balasz added a basket. Atherton chipped in with a free throw of her own in quarter one. 

Quarter two wasn't all that bad either. I think the only complaint is putting them at the free throw line. A couple silly fouls hurt us but we held strong and scored some big baskets as well. Thomas added another 3 and Atherton, Pritt, Belair, Balasz each added a basket. Callahan hit one from the stripe. 

HALF TIME SCORE: HURON  23  AIRPORT 29

 

The second half is where our struggles came. Not only did we have a harder time adjusting to their defensive scheme; we gave up entirely too many second chance opportunities. It goes back to rebounding and they just completely dominated us on the boards. We again came up with a big stop time after time but with no defensive rebounding, they just grabbed and put it back up for an easy basket. That was the story of the game the second half. Physical play, in the trenches, they won. Even still, we did some nice things. Took some charges, great help D, stopped their transition. We executed more than we didn't and that is huge for this program moving forward. The second half scoring came from Thomas with 8, Pritt with 4,Atherton with 3, Belair with 2 and Strochine with 2.
