Guard Play a Huge Factor for The Del Valle Cardinals

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Del Valle 49      

Anderson 36

Texas Basketball Inc. was in the house on Tuesday night  for the season tip off  between the Del Valle Cardinals  & the Anderson Trojans.  Del Valle with a nice group of returning players will be very solid this up coming season.  The cardinals started out a little slow the first quarter turning the ball over  twice within their first four possessions. Anderson came out  pressing  early on to try and slow down the cardinals, but the Lady Cardinals showed good  patience against the press and attacked when they could.  6-0  post player Summer Postell class of 2011 works very well around the basket with the ability to get up & down the floor. 5-3 point guard Joslinn Douglas class of 2010 was a huge match up problem for the Trojans. The senior point guard is quick off the dribble & has great range on her shot.   Half way into the second quarter Del Valle picked things up defensively to take a three-point lead at the half  24-21.

 

Starting the second half the cardinals continued to be aggressive  attacking the basket, and taking good open shots.  Del Valle played excellent team defense in the third quarter with the guards playing good on ball  defense   forcing Anderson to four turnovers while taking an eleven point lead into the fourth. 5-6 combo guard Jametria Green class of 2011 had a great game. The  junior guard attacks the basket very well with the ability to shoot the mid range shot. Del Valle had great play from their guards who consistently attack the basket and got their teammates a lot of easy lay ups.

 

Great job  Coach Angel  to you & the Coaching Staff at Del Valle High School.
