Introduction



Hello, and welcome to my blog! This blog will be about the Troy University Women's Basketball team and their trials and tribulations this season, as well as their success.
You should know that I am a very avid sports fan and love all sports.
But loving all sports and just being a fan doesn’t make me a reliable source as to what is going on with the team and how they are doing.
I am a student journalist at Troy University and have been watching this team for the last 2 and a half years, while covering them for the last year and a half.
And because of how much I have had to be around the team, I know the play style of this team and what their mindset is. And that is to win, and win big!
I know this because that is what head coach Chanda Rigby has been preaching to her players since she got here.
Their goal every game is to score 15 points every 5 minutes. Does it always happen?
No.
But, that is their goal.
Another thing that you should know about me is that I could count on one hand how many games I have missed over the last two plus years while here at Troy.
The reason I don’t miss games is because of my second job.
My second job is that I am a producer for the Women’s Basketball games at the local radio station here in Troy.
This means that I am either at the game covering it, or I am listening to it because of my other job.
I will unfortunately be missing the game this Saturday vs. South, out biggest rival.
The reason is because:
1.   I am off this weekend from both jobs.  
2.   It is an away game, so I can’t go and see it for fun.
3.   It is my Grandad’s 75th birthday, and I wasn’t missing that.
I will however be talking about the game next week, and I’ll have another post coming tonight.
Thank you so much for reading this.
Please comment and let me know how I can improve.

Finally Efficient

In my last post I mentioned the Trojans needing to be efficient, especially after shooting 19 percent from three the previous game. I guess they listened because the game against Arkansas State on Saturday was a really good and efficient win to get the Trojans back on track as they took down the Red Wolves 100 to 89. The Trojans shot just over 50 percent from three for the game shooting 14 for 27 from three and right at 43 percent from the field. And this is the type of efficiency that the Trojans have been searching for most of this season. Countless times I’ve talked to the coaching staff after games and they have talked about putting together a full game and being consistent. And this was one of the few games where they have been able to do that. Not only were they consistent on the offensive end, but they were consistent on defense as well. They had a total of 14 steals for the game to go along with two blocks. They played team defense and communicated well on defe

How To Hit a Pitch: For Softball or Baseball

            1. Watch the Ball: One of the most important things to do when trying to hit a pitch is to keep your eyes on the ball. If you keep your eyes on the ball, your natural reaction when swinging a bat will be to bring your hands and bat towards the ball. And with practice, you will start to hit the ball. And the key is not to just watch the ball, but to watch it all the way to your bat. If you take your eyes off of the ball for even just a split second, you have a good chance of winging and missing.             2. Be Patient: When trying to hit a pitch, you have to be patient. You can’t chase the ball outside and expect to hit it. You have to pick a pitch that you want to hit, and try to look for that pitch. And that leads into the next lesson.             3. Find Your Pitch: Every hitter has a certain pitch that they love to see thrown towards them and a certain area where they like to see that pitch. For me, it was a fastball or curve right below the waist. You have to

Softball On A Roll

As of late, the Softball team has been on a role and have won 12 games in a row.             Their most recent win was over conference rival South Alabama . And anyone who knows about that rivalry knows that it doesn’t matter what your record going into that game is. Both teams will play it close no matter what, and that’s exactly what happened.             Coming into that game, Troy was riding high on an eleven-game win streak, while South was struggling to try to get just their 3 rd win in conference and 13 th win overall.             Troy had started off slow, but picked it up in the third inning with 3 runs with Kaylee Hussey and Bailey Taylor both picking up RBIs. But, that is where the scoring would stop for the Trojans as they would go on to finish the game only scoring those 3 runs.             Fortunately for Troy though, they have freshman phenom pitcher Lenna Johnson. She pitched six shutout innings in a row and finished by giving up two runs in the 7 th before
