Lady Legends Mount Comeback Overtime Victory
A total team effort brings victory home in season opener over Eleanor Roosevelt, 26-23
This was a new look Lady Legends Unit. Helen Deluna at point guard, consistently getting past the defensive pressure and breaking the Lady Legends rebounding record with 30 boards. Ndaba setting the school record in blocked shots with eight, and leading all scorers with 12 points, and finishing with 24 rebounds of her own. Rookie Perina putting the stops to Roosevelts top scorer, who had 11 points in the first six minutes and ended up only scoring three more the entire game, as Perina showed her defensive skills!
--- Kristen also pitched in with five points, but all of them came at crunch time, when the game was on the line. Tenacious Alyssa also stole the ball 5 times and had 8 tipped or deflected passes, as she appeared to harrass any Roosevelt player who entered her world. Also contributing were rookies Shantasia and Anylese. This game also marked the coaching debut of Muhammad, notching a dramatic victory in his first contest, not bad! The legends battled back the entire game and took the lead with seconds left in OT, on a key layup by Kristen and then two clutch foul shots by captain Helen. ---- Although the legends have areas to improve in, they showed heart and fight, battling with only seven players in attendance. The team is awaiting the arrival of Shatrieka and Mellissa,.... and not to mention the almighty Oni!
