One can shove a seed in the ground and tell it "you need to grow", but it has a better chance of making it if it is nurtured and cared for as it develops.....

Great post Coach Wilson. You nailed it in my opinion. It is the combination OF ALL the factors you listed, that is what I was getting to in my original post.

I think it can be agreed upon that each of these young ladies listed have "put in the work" that oldschool2 has described, and they deserve the recognition for that work. I am sure there are some more that should be listed also, as these type of lists always omit worthy player(s). More global theories on why things aren't as good as they could be are harder to figure out, as there are more moving pieces involved as you move out from putting the work in as an individual, to putting the work in as a part of a larger unit (i.e. team, school, community, etc.). Thank you to the coaches, parents, and other mentors that have supported these young ladies, and all the other young ladies that play girls basketball. It could not be done at ANY level without their efforts.

believe we on the same page here, just coming at it from different angles. No substitute for hard work you are exactly right.........

Funny enough, it this is the same reason my daughter is an above average shooter as well Was not making an excuse, just making an observation.

Yeah, infrastructure is a big part of any successful sports program, regardless of gender. Using the "King of Sports" in SETX, football, as the example, it is common knowledge that the top programs in the area are who they are because the players are developed from the time the pads weigh more than the players do, via youth leagues. This type of setup simply does not exist for girls basketball, save the small number of "historical" girls basketball programs in the area, and even that is not the same because there are not the numbers to have separate girls Little Dribblers programs at the youngest ages these days, as compared to years back. Also, the true intent of girls AAU basketball as it stands today as it stands to developing skilled players, could be called into question, imo... One last example, how many schools have shooting machines for basketball (or if they have them, do they WORK), that developing players can readily access? Or have structured program (official or unofficial, lol) to help build the skill level. If they do it is still probably a fight between the boys and girls program for use. To become a great shooter, it needs to be hundreds of shots EVERY DAY at game speed, not every now and then.... Most schools don't provide this type of setup. Teams like Argyle haven't run up five straight championships without some type of commitment level similar to what is seen in boy's football.....

.Final Lumberton 55 LCM 48 Great hard fought game by both teams. LCM fans bring the intensity, that is for sure. Good road win for the Lady Raiders......

They do but not all the time and only a part of 1st half. Its a hard fought game by both teams so far. I expect an intense second half. Good efforts by both squads so far imo
