TEAM TALK
Sunday Scrimmage a Huge Success!
Last Sunday evening, our women’s team
scrimmaged against a male basketball team, some of whom knew our team’s
plays. What fun! What energy! What a demonstration!
The scrimmage was scheduled for three
periods of 10 minutes each. The men took a large lead in the first session
at 11-0 until our players hit their rhythm and bounced back, ending the
period winning 26-23. The men retaliated during the second session
overcoming our Tar Heels 21-15. And then there was the third session: up
for grabs ending in a 22-22 tie! Unfazed, our Tar Heels proved that they
can meet a challenge in an overtime session of two minutes as they won
32-29.
Regardless of the score, the intensity and
determination of our women was a joy to behold! At least twice, our players
stood their ground and took the charge resulting in a foul for the
opposition. We actually wondered if they would stand up after the hit! As
far as their vertical ability, jump they did as they attempted to deny shots
and intercept passes.
Italee lucas led the Tar Heels in scoring
with 31 points including 8 three-pointers. Laura Broomfield was the second
highest scorer with 12 points. Other scoring contributors included Chay
Shegog, Cetera DeGraffenreid, Trinity Bursey, Waltiea Rolle, Tierra
Ruffin-Pratt, and She’la White.
Thanks to the members of the “Blue” team
for their efforts to dislodge our Tar Heel team! Running up and down the
court were: John Allen, Cameron Belton, Tykien Cooper, Kevin Frac, Van
Hatchell, Cameron Johnson, Brian Macon, Matthew Michelle, and Chase Price.
Preseason Ranking

UNC Women’s Basketball team as the 5th best team in the country

eye on their backs as other teams try to upset us.

Treasurer’s Blog: From Gary Triplett
Tar Heel Team Tempo’s steering committee is
busy trying to get our organization off the ground, get our great fans to
attend the games and of course, planning some great events for our
membership. I have been told that many of you would give if the
contributions were tax-deductible. The Committee understands and we are
working as hard as we can to make that happen, but even doing that requires
funding. We need your assistance and if you are able to contribute, please
do so. The address is:
