The Sandy Creek

Lady Patriots basketball team has a new coach, several new players and

a new attitude. The team has been working together since the summer and

kicked off their season on Saturday night with a game against Fayette

County High School.

Coached by

Jim Waller, the Lady Patriots have only three seniors and only a few players

who have a lot of varsity experience. They are getting used to Waller's

system, which includes a man to man pressure defense, a good transition

game, and a solid work ethic.

"I hope

that our work ethic will be our strength," said Waller. "We

will be a fundamentally sound basketball team and prepared.We're laying

the foundation down to build a solid program" The coach's former

teams were known for their stifling defense and the Lady Patriots will

attempt to follow suit.

Sandy Creek

opened their region schedule yesterday at Creekside. The Lady Patriots

will also play in two holiday tournaments over Christmas break, one in

Dacula before Christmas and one in North Gwinnett afterwards.
