“Tweet!”, goes the whistle as the first basketball game for the night started. The New Haven Shamrocks faced the Hermann Bearcats on Monday, February 10, 2020. The night started off with the JV girls winning 42-33. The Varsity girls followed where they fought to end the game with a score of 47-62. After the game the athletes were asked a few questions.
The first question asked was if there was anything the athletes needed to work on and if so, what.
Senior McKenzie Overschmidt said, “I think I need to be able to handle more pressure and look up the floor.”
Freshman Brenna Langenberg answered, “Yes, I need to work on shooting [unforced] three point shots. Most of my threes are rushed and I never get my feet set.”
Junior Ellie Westermeyer replied, “I feel like we need to work on being smarter with our passes and focusing on our shots.”
They were then asked what their thoughts on the game were.
Freshman Lindsey Steinbeck explained, “I thought it was an aggressive and entertaining game.”
Junior Madison Langenberg said, “I think the score gap could have definitely been less.”
McKenzie Overschmidt answered, “I was very happy-- that was the first ever game I have [scored points] in the 20s!! Also, we played great as a team and our shooting was very consistent.”
Ellie Westermeyer replied, “I thought we played much harder than we have played them before.”
Great job, Shamrocks, and good luck on the rest of your season!
