All About The Numbers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Numbers can be very fun in basketball. Sometimes they can tell the whole story. Sometimes they can lead to the story. And sometimes they're just fun or interesting. Let's take a look at some recent action......by the numbers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>17</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The number of rebounds for Grand Blanc's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='419538' first='Rayven' last='McQueen']</strong>. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Also the number of points <strong>Riley Mitchell</strong> scored for Milford in their win against Fenton, continuing a very solid start to the season for her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This seems to be a magical number for solid performances last night. <strong>Kierea Smits</strong> scored 17 in her excellent game, helping her Holland Christian team pick up a win against Holland.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>&gt;20</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Greater than 20 perfectly describes Yale's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='613947' first='Sadie' last='Dykstra']</strong>. She has had back to back games over the 20 point mark.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2 is the games in a row that North Farmington's <strong>Hannah Hart</strong> has been commended by the coaching staff for her controlling the game with her defense. North Farmington moved to 3-0 with a 61-48 win against Troy Athens.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This also stands for 2 sport stars like <strong>Parker Ostach</strong>. The Western Michigan softball commit dropped 22 points in a Lakeland victory last night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>19</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That's the number of minutes logged by <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='502309' first='Lilly' last='Thelen']</strong> in a win last night. She accounted for about 9 buckets just with her defense and passing in those minutes. That makes for an amazing plus-minus ratio.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>13/12/7</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That's [player_tooltip player_id='244268' first='Madelyn' last='Geers'] stat line in a 35-20 Kent City win against West Michigan Christian. That stat line is a perfect indicator of the way she's showcased her well rounded game so far this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>4</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That's the number of blocks last night for <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='614706' first='Tanner' last='Schramm']</strong> in Goodrich's hard fought win. That's some tough defense and a huge game when you add to it her 11 points and 5 rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>10+ and 10+</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This stands for <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='570859' first='Lily' last='Gleason']</strong> and her double-double. She finished with 13 points and 15 rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>58</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='424158' first='Kaitlyn' last='Geurink']</strong> scored 58% of Hamilton's points in their tight win against Hopkins. She had 21 of the teams 36.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
