Key Player


Jessica Watkins
6' 0" Junior Forward
JUCO Transfer from Patrick Henry CC & Played HS at LCA & VES

[Purple Haize]

I don't think she played at LCA. She did plat at EC Glass for 2 of the best coaches EVER then went to VES so she could get an extra year.

[Sly Fox]

Her bio at Patrick Henry College listed LCA as he high school. Perhaps she finished up for school work at LCA after playing for VES. One way or the other, Jessica has to be pretty jazzed to be back playing in Lynchburg instead of backwater Louisiana at least for a few day.

Any TV coverage for this game?

According to this, Liberty Channel.

Hopefully it's on 13.2 so I don't have to stream it.

13-11 Grambling with 13:39 left in the 1'st.

19-13 with 11:36 left in the 1'st.

Tied at 27 with 7:09 left in the 1'st.

33-31 Liberty with 3:43 left in the 1'st.

[jbock13]

41-31 Liberty at half.

[Purple Haize]

I caught the opening on the drive home. We should dominate this team. Except Jessica Watkins, she's a beast and will score 100

48-31 Liberty with 16:03 left.

53-40 Liberty with 11:58 left.

They are hanging around

[Purple Haize]

And then they weren't

[jbock13]

74-46 Liberty with 3:03 left.

[jbock13]

Liberty wins 81-50.

No real surprises here.

[Chippy]

Grambling shot 5% in the second half
Looked like Catherine Kearney tweaked her knee again at the end of the game
Would be nice to get under 20 TOs. Sacred Heart ranked higher than us in the Mid Major Poll. This will be a better test.

[Purple Haize]

We almost had as many rebounds as points

[Chippy]

It should be noted, actually a news flash . . . . Liberty played man to man most of the game. I've been watching for 5 years now and can't recall LU playing man to man before. Mostly a 2-3 zone or on very rare occasions a 1-3-1 but man to man

I really like our depth and the 3 recruits look good as well. Hopefully one of them will be the next Katie Feenstra, Megan Frazee, Devon Brown.

[Cider Jim]

The TV announcers kept calling Katelyn Adams a Katie Feenstra look-alike, and I have to agree. We finally have another wide body on the team, and at 6'5" she looks to be a GREAT post player.

Adams does have good size. #3 is small but was super quick and looks like she can handle the ball. Should be a fun team to watch.
