With the Lady Hurricanes’ season quickly approaching, there is a lot to look forward to in the upcoming season.
Leading the Lady Hurricanes as head coach in his third year is Mr. Scott Urig. Alongside Coach Urig, Miss Rebecca Byndas, a BHS alumni, is the new assistant varsity coach and junior varsity coach.
Although this season may be complicated with the current pandemic, the team is ready to prove the naysayers wrong and have a memorable (and safe) varsity campaign.
Last season, the Lady Hurricanes finished the year 10-13 overall and 7-9 in the CVC (Chagrin Valley Conference). With veteran experience mixed with a barrage of athletic youth, this team is poised to improve on last year’s 10-win mark.
Senior Anna Haddad stated, “I’m looking forward to seeing the team improve as a whole.”
Haddad believes that if they work together and put in all of the work at practice with a positive attitude, they will be able to accomplish their goals.
Senior Destiny Cannon, who is a returning player after not playing her junior year, believes that the excitement level for this team is real.
“I’m looking forward to the excitement. We have a lot of new freshmen with different skills and sophomores who are still developing. Everyone wants to get out there and give it their all, so I’m definitely looking forward to seeing the energy and determination that it creates. Should definitely be exciting,” stated Cannon.
This team has speed, athleticism, shooting, and high basketball IQs. With all of these positives, Coach Urig simplified the keys for success.
“I’m looking forward to seeing how the returners develop, how fast the young ones pick up the system, and how we can implement them into the rotation.”
He also stated that playing good defense, getting rebounds offensively as well as defensively, shooting the ball consistently, and taking good shots is critical for their success.
According to the team, they believe that success will only occur with chemistry. A unified team will produce the desired results when every player does not care who receives the accolades. If this chemistry develops quickly, this team could indeed accomplish a lot this year.
The Lady Hurricanes open up their season on Saturday, November 21, at Keystone High School (Lagrange).
Good luck, girls! Start fast, stay fast, finish fast.
Go Canes!
