Girls basketball has added several games under their belt so far this season. In addition, six of those games were consecutive wins.
It is safe to say that all of the rumors, misconceptions and doubts about the Warren Central girls basketball team have been cleared up and put to rest, and in one of their latest games against Pike, where they won 71-46, and they let that be known.
“The game was very up and down at times, but I feel like we really came up and pulled out with the win,” sophomore Sevan Walls said. “We proved some things about our team that have been circling around Indy and the MIC and everything. So we really made a point and proved our point that game.”
And now that they have proved their point, they must keep up the consistency of hard work and on the court. Despite a recent loss to Lawrence North, the girls’ sights are set on an overall winning season.
“We got to come out hard, come out strong every single game,” Walls said. “It's a very high expectation for us now.” Sevan Walls said.
Head coach Stacy Mitchell has high expectations for the team now that they have proven that they are more than capable of pulling through and winning consistent games.
“Minimizing our mistakes, cutting down on second chance baskets and playing with speed and skill,” coach Mitchell said about the team’s needs moving forward
At the start of the season, Coach Mitchell was very optimistic about the team working together while trying to build a team with old and new players.
“The girls [are] coming together building team chemistry together,” he said. “We are bringing back a team with two returning starters.”
Walls highlighted her teammate Candyce Hollins as a leader on the court, as far as bringing the team together during important times.
“She’s a big leadership factor for our team,” Walls said “She is vocal, she is a leader, and she is not afraid to speak her mind. And she is a senior so that was to be expected of her this season.” Sevan Walls said.
So far this season for our lady warriors is going great, however coach Mitchell has no plans on letting up.
“Continue working on fundamentals, hard work in practice, stretch teamwork and pay attention to small details.”
