On Wednesday, December 4, 2019, the New Haven girls varsity basketball team traveled to Montgomery High School for the Montgomery Girls Basketball tournament. This was their second game after winning their first one against Bowling Green on December 2. After a hard-fought game, the score in the end was 38-52.
After the game the athletes were asked a few questions.
The first question asked was how they felt their team played. Junior Madison Langenberg said, “I think we played really well, even though we lost.”
Senior McKenzie Overschmidt replied, “I think we played hard and smart. I think we kept up with Hermann until we all got too tired. I think we played very [well]!”
Junior Ellie Westermeyer answered, “I thought that we played very well and kept up our intensity with them.”
The next question was if they had any thoughts on the game. Junior Caroline Otten said, “I felt we played really hard and did well.”
Ellie Westermeyer simply said, “I thought we played well.”
Madison Langenberg replied, “We could have done some things better and should have made more easy shots.”
They were then asked if there is anything their team needs to work on. McKenzie Overschmidt simply answered, “Passing and shooting.”
Ellie Westermeyer said, “Yes, passing the ball.”
Caroline Otten replied, “We need to work on passing the ball around the court and staying in control with it.”
Lastly, the girls were asked if there are any goals they want to accomplish this season. And if so, what.
Madison Langenberg simply said, “Beat Hermann.”
McKenzie Overschmidt explained, “I want to beat Hermann and I also want to get past districts. Also I want to improve as a team throughout the season.”
Ellie Westermeyer replied, “Keep our turnovers under 10 for each game.”
Good luck, Shamrocks, on the rest of your season!
