A Comet can be defined as 'a central mass surrounded by an
envelope of dust and gas'. This definition got me
thinking........Wow......our Comets are amazing! At the beginning of the
season our game play consisted of a huddled team crowded around the ball, yet
tonight I was reminded of how much our team has improved. We are
beginning to use the whole court, to spread out and find space. We are
crowding the opponent with the ball and rather than being mere dust on the
outside of a mass, the Comets are playing a purposeful positional game.
Unfortunately tonight was not our night on the scoreboard. The
Small Blacks were a formidable opponent, littered with sharp shooters across
the court. Full credit goes to each member of our team for working hard
on defence. It was this impressive style of defensive play that saw
Annabelle Duncan take our Player of the Day award. Annabelle shadowed her
opponent around the court and was constantly forcing the Small Blacks to make
errors on attack. Well done Annabelle.
