Inside Troy Women's Basketball

Leanna Johnson has been amazing this season for the Trojans and has not only been dominate, but consistent as well. She is currently 22 and 5 on the season and has 175 strikeouts on the season. That win total also ranks in the top three in the nation by a single pitcher. This interview is a little older, but they haven’t been home in about two weeks until tonight when they take on Appalachian State. In the interview however, Leanna talks about her complete game win over the Alabama State Hornets and how she can rely on the defense behind her even when she gives up a hit.

            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.

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

This is a widely discussed topic in basketball circles on who is MVP every year, and most people have valid arguments on who is MVP. But for me, the MVP of the league is Giannis Antetokounmpo. This is because he has taken the Bucks as the lone super star on that team and has made them the best team in the NBA record wise. Just last season the Bucks were 44-38   on the season and finished in 7 th place in a week Eastern Conference that did not have Kawhi Leonard yet on the Raptors. Not to mention a injured Celtics and young 76ers team. Now, the 76ers through trades are a legit threat to the Warriors, the Raptors are a way better team with Kawhi than with Demar DeRozan with all do respect to him, and if the Celtics can figure out a good rotation for them they can be a threat as well. But, above all those teams is the Milwaukee Bucks lead by Giannis. Currently on the year Giannis is averaging a career high 27.4 points per game, a career high 12.5 rebounds per game, a caree
