The team has been without three of its starters for most of the season: Guard\/forward Monique Pruitt-Henderson (broken foot, is out until January) and guards <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/freshman-guard-providing-scoring-punch-lady-sharks\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Ganette Chism<\/span><\/a> (broken nose) and Daliyah Brown (foot contusion). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The injury bug has forced head coach Susan Summons to use other players in expanded roles to makeup for the talent drain. But the team believes the added experience will benefit them in the long run. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s been a blessing in disguise for us,\u201d said Brown, who has been working herself back into the starting rotation. \u201cWe\u2019ve used it as a chance to increase our basketball IQ and it\u2019s a challenge we\u2019ve adapted to. It\u2019s allowed the girls in the rotation to get a larger role and know how to keep the game alive in tough moments.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcathletics.com\/sports\/wbkb\/index\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">the team<\/span><\/a> has gone 3-3, the record does not fully reflect how the team has performed. The Lady Sharks\u2019 three loses have been by an average of 3.6 points. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chism, Brown and Pruitt-Henderson were supposed to add the main scoring punch to the Lady Sharks offensive attack. Chism, a sophomore guard, lead the team in scoring last year, averaging 21 points a game. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Champions never focus on where they stand, they focus on where they want to be,\u201d Summons said. \u201cWe can be and play better. We were capable of winning both games prior to the IMG game but chemistry, turnovers and poor team defense was a factor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team has a lot to look forward because their top players are slowly being brought back into the fold. They average 88.7 points and 54.7 rebounds per game. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The healthy starters have been providing a spark for the Lady Sharks. Sophomore forward\/center Michelle Pruitt (Monique\u2019s sister), a transfer from <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stetson University, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is averaging 18.2 points per game on 37 percent from three-point range. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis season has been allowing me to expand who I am as a player,\u201d Pruitt said. \u201cI\u2019ve been able to step back more and add to my bag of tricks so that I\u2019m not as one-dimensional.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team\u2019s spirit has also remained high. Players cite Summons\u2019 leadership as the main reason they\u2019ve stayed on track. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe has kept challenging us and forcing us to compete and improve through each practice,\u201d Brown said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summons meanwhile is using the season\u2019s early woes as a reflection of what needs to be improved on if they want to improve on last season\u2019s Southern Conference title. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBetter decision making is and still remains the key and knowing your personnel helps you to make better passes that lead to assists rather than poor passes that result in turnovers,\u201d Summons said. \u201cWe had multiple turnovers in the game against Hillsborough Community College, and as bad as we played, only lost by two points.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lady Sharks next game is on Nov. 29 on the road versus Sante Fe College at 8 p.m. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Injuries have plagued the Lady Sharks this season.
