Continue ReadingOver the holiday season, the Oscoda Owls participated in the Motor City Roundball Classic. This tournament was a great experience for the Owls as they played two tough teams, Bridgeport and Parma Western. Despite losing both games, Lauren Langley hit her 1000th career point. Against Bridgeport, Langley led the Owls with 23 points.
I recently caught up with Langley to inquire about her milestone:
Q: How did it feel making that basket to hit 1,000 points?

It felt really good to finally make the basket that put me over 1000 points. It was almost like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I finished the game before at 999 points, and that’s not the easiest mark to sleep on so it’s was nice to finally surpass the 1000 point mark.
Q: How is the energy within the team despite the recent loss in the Round Ball Tournament?
Langley:
I think the Round Ball Tournament was definitely a reality check for us, but I don’t think our team is discouraged in anyway. We knew going into those games that those teams were at a much higher caliber than any of the teams we play in our conference, and that we were playing in this tournament because we wanted to be challenged. I think we had some really great moments, but we just didn’t capitalize on those enough to come out with 2 wins. We are taking the lessons we learned from this past weekend to help us succeed in the rest of our season and into post-season play.
Q: Who else on your team is stepping up this year?
Langley:
Macy Kellstrom is really stepping up and helping our team this year. She’s our main point guard this year and is doing a great job at handling the ball and she’s also passing the ball really well. She also can knock down the shot when you need her to as well. She’s only a junior, so she’ll be a force to be reckon with for the rest of her career
