The Mountain Madness starts July 24th, at the Gold Crown FieldHouse in Lakewood, Colorado and at the Auraria Event Center at Metro State University, in Denver.
This two plus hour workout took place on the Campus of Trinidad State College in Trinidad, Colorado and was led by Coach Bragman and her assistant, Coach Justin Bustos “JB”.
Head Coach Destiny Bragman, a former JUCO & D1 Basketball player herself, is now going into her 6th year Coaching. For the 21-22′ season, Bragman led the Trinidad Trojan Women to a 2nd place conference finish. The Lady Trojans expect to compete for the conference title this upcoming season in NJCAA D1 Region 9 South.
There was 16 total girls, all apart of AAU Club teams, NM Select & NM Flash. The players were put throughout various ball handling and shooting drills that emphasized “the little details”. Such details included working ball screens, focusing on taking the defender below the pick with the ball handler thinking, “shoulder to hip” when using the screen; And ensuring clean smooth footwork both on ball and off ball in the half court.
