Coach Jim's Report

Coach Jim’s Report: Mystics U14 vs Sheffield Hatters

The home game against Sheffield Hatters U14s was of huge significance in that the outcome would decide the order of the top 3 sides. A win for us would see us crowned as Northern Premier League Champions. A win for Sheffield would guarantee them second (or first if they beat us by more than 17 points and we then lost our final fixture away to Newcastle.) Birmingham would move up from third to second above Sheffield if we were victorious.

To add to the drama, we had been hit by injuries to key players. Christiana (knee), Emmy (knee and finger), Elsa (ankle) plus Zoe (on holiday) would all be sorely missed! We did receive something of a boost when Elsa declared herself fit enough to ‘give it a go.’ This only lasted for the first 8 minutes of the encounter but was to prove crucial in the eventual outcome. Her defensive prowess went a long way to helping us to a stunning first quarter display which gave us an almost unbelievable 25-6 lead. Despite being one of the best U14 sides in the country, Sheffield could not cope with Mystics’ stifling team defence or potent offense with outstanding contributions from Adele, Emmanuela, Darcie and Chichi, all of whom deserve huge credit.

With such a commanding lead I was able to be more liberal with substitutions for the rest of the game. Even so, we narrowly won quarters 2, 3 and 4 to round off a highly impressive 72-46 victory. All those who came off the bench played their part, particularly at the defensive end.

Aila’s all out effort was there for all to see and it is incredible how far her defence has improved this season. Alycia again showed she can be relied upon to give all she has got by being first back and first up the court on changes of possession. Her short corner shot is a useful addition to our offensive arsenal. Morgan has developed a nice medium range shot which she is never shy to use and I am so pleased that she now realises the value of playing defence. She can be proud of the way she played yesterday. 

Maisie W is another all-action competitor. Her speed and willingness to put in all out effort again showed why she has become a valuable member of the team. A similar tag can be placed on Olivia. We saw why speed and athleticism are dangerous weapons at both ends of the court and her beautiful left-handed Eurostep basket late on in the game should be featured on Sky Sports! To complete the set, our 2 back up point guards, Maisie I and Gabby again showed they can be relied upon to advance the ball without any problem and both possess a nice medium range shot when open which they were once or twice during the game. 

All in all, this was a highly commendable team performance from an ever-improving team whose wonderful team spirit shone through once again. Many thanks to James and Annmarie and to parents for your support as well as to the games officials, all of whom were excellent.

Best wishes, 

Jim

Coach Jim's Report

Coach Jim’s Report: Mystics U16 2 at Leicester Riders

A study of the U16 northern Conference results make it clear that Leicester Riders have improved significantly since they came to us in October with just 7 players. They are now very well-organised and very physical. These two factors plus the fact that they were two years older than 50% of our team which travelled to the game and three years older than the 5 excellent U13s on show meant we could expect an encounter tougher than an overcooked steak. And so it proved.

We began brightly enough, but some slow closing out on shooters left us trailing 4-9 after 4 minutes. As this group so often does, the girls responded positively coming out of a time-out via 3 baskets from the powerful Emmanuela and one from the ever-consistent Christiana to afford us with a 13-11 lead after 10 hard-fought minutes.

Morgan then gave us the perfect start to the second quarter by swishing 2 medium range shots. This proved to be the catalyst for a dazzling offensive display which yielded a massive 25-second quarter points shared by 7 players plus assists from the other 3. It didn’t matter which defence Leicester threw at us (sometimes literally!), each combination of players we had on court found an answer (which isn’t always the case when I ask them general knowledge questions at training to ascertain which team starts with the ball in scrimmages!)

Our opponents tried 2 types of press, an aggressive half court man defence as well as a 1-3-1 zone in an attempt to slow us down. With 3 outstanding but very different guards in Christiana, Adele and Darcie, plus reliable back up in the less experienced Maisie W, their press was less successful than Man United strikers have been this season as we passed our way through it. We nullified their man to man thanks principally to the pace of Olivia, Christiana and Emmanuela and eventually came to terms with their zone via some impressive outside shooting from Morgan, Zoe, Darcie and most notably Adele, accompanied by a string of offensive rebounds from the ever-dependable Elsa and the much-improved Chichi.

Alternatively, we were more bothered by Leicester’s approach to offense. They did shoot and rebound well but regularly resorted to the battering ram/wrecking ball approach not found in any coaching manual. It consisted of head down, drive as fast as you can in a straight line and go through anyone who dares to get in your way. Unfortunately for Emmanuela’s and Darcie’s well-being, they dared to get in the way. Both now have loose fillings and little ear wax following multiple collisions

which were always deemed to be blocks rather than charges. 

Aside from the deserved 73-60 victory, this encounter proved to be very worthwhile in that this young team had to show courage, maturity and togetherness to overcome challenging opponents. Leicester’s very knowledgeable coach told me afterwards that he couldn’t believe an U14 team could perform so impressively against U16s. When I told him 5 of the girls are U13s, he was speechless (which I took as a sign of admiration because he does like to talk!)

A huge thank you to James for his wise words, to Annmarie for being the perfect team manager and to our brilliant driver Kofi as well as to our smaller than usual band of travelling parents. Next up 2 U16 home games – Saturday Teesside and a top of the table clash on Sunday v Leeds Gold.
