Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3488204, member: 7511"] With no live sports to watch, this morning I watched Paige’s last HS game with her Hopkins teammates in the state semifinal vs Stillwater. While Paige makes her usual share of highlight reel plays on offense, it is on defense, particularly in the 1st half, where she is all over the court, disrupting everything Stillwater attempts to do on offense. I don’t have stats for the game, but Paige must force 10+ turnovers with steals and really tough defense. She also blocks several shots and pulls down a number of defensive rebounds in traffic. The most impressive thing she did occurred when a Stillwater player was driving full speed towards the basket, and Paige planted her rail thin body in front of her opponent, taking a hard charging foul. I‘ve probably watched a dozen or so Hopkins full game tapes this season. I’ve never seen Paige play a better defensive game. You can be certain that if she has that kind of defensive ability in her, Geno will expect to see it every game. [/QUOTE]
