Groninger and Jordie Soso will also contribute to this
feature so check back weekly to see what's going on
in Lady Buccaneer Basketball!
Pre-Season Recap: This week's entry comes from Jazmine Borrella...
Junior transfer Jazmine Borella offers up the first edition
to the player journal for the Lady Bucs. Jazmine arrived
at CBU last year, but sat out with a redshirt season. Jazmine
and the rest of the Lady Bucs have been going through their
pre-season workouts which consists of conditioning, individual
workouts and pick-up games. Below is her account of just
what goes into the pre-season workout routine.
Here we are, the school year has started again, and we're
just a few months away from our first game. The beginning
of the new school year always means conditioning and coach
G's "Superman" contest can't be far away.
The Superman events include: a bench press, bicep curls,
tricep extensions, leg press, leg extensions, shoulder press,
tricep dips, quick feet step ups, sit ups, and finishes with
a 2 mile run. Each player is awarded points with the lower
the score the better. This season the overall first place
winner was Kristen Kirkland. Second place went to
Michelle
Steele and third
was Carley
Wright.
Despite some weak stomachs at times (not naming any names),
the competition was a success.
Currently our preseason workout consists of a weight lifting
program three times a week, speed and agility work (we just
love the ladder drills), individual sessions, and an open
gym session.
We've welcomed five new freshman to the team this year.
Kat Butler is a point guard from Nashville. Erin Nigh is
a guard from Indiana, Katie Quinton and Crystal Shelton are
both solid forwards that reign from Tennessee. Jessica Plunkett
is a guard from Memphis. They've all got their individual
personalities, but it's too early to find out just who will
be the joker, who'll be the serious one and so on. We'll
get back to you on that. .........to be continued.
