The Georgia College women's basketball team this season is determined to do one thing they have failed at doing over the past few years: make the NCAA Tournament.
And with the start the team has had thus far, there's no reason to believe that this team can't accomplish that task.
Georgia College (2-0) most recently defeated USC Aiken in a non-conference match last Wednesday 74-55 in the teams home opener. Senior guard Chimere Jordan posted 19 points to lead all scorers, while junior point guard Karisma Boykin was just two tallies shy of posting a double-double with 10 points, nine rebounds and nine assists.
After almost a full week off, it's back to the hard wood where the classic battle of "Cat vs. Dog" will take place at the Centennial Center.
The Bobcats welcome to West Georgia Wolves of Carrollton, Ga. to the house in a non-conference battle.
The Wolves enter 1-2, previously falling 57-48 to nationally ranked Ft. Valley State.
With the holidays nearing and school coming down to crunch time, head coach Mo Smith and his assistants Toby Wagoner and Liz Hathaway must keep the ladies focused before Turkey Day.
Here are come keys to watch for in the contest against W. Ga:
1) CONTINUE SHOOTING WELL FROM THE FREE THROW LINE: In the first two games of the year, the Bobcats are 83.8 percent as a team from the charity stripe, an outstanding number! With a physical team like the Wolves coming, it will be important to knock down free throws early and late.
2) BE PATIENT ON OFFENSE: GC must work for a high percentage shot each possession down the floor. That starts with the point guard Boykin who dazzled Bobcat fans last time out with her smart play and the ability to penetrate the USC Aiken defense.
3) REBOUNDING: Currently Georgia College holds a +10 margin on the rebounds as a team, pulling down an average of 42 per game, another sensational number! Getting on the defensive glass will be key.
4) STAY FOCUSED: Thanksgiving is close for everyone and Christmas is just right around the corner. It is imperative for players, coaches, officials, broadcasters, and athletic personnel to stay focused at the task at hand throughout the holiday season.
Other stories, as always, will unfold throughout the match.
