Basketball coaches, almost in unison, like to talk about playing well at the end of the season.

A 14-3 run by Cedar Shoals in the third quarter hurt the chances for victory for the Apalachee High School Lady Wildcats Tuesday.

The visiting Lady Jaguars would hold on for a 58-45 win in a contest which seemed to slip away from AHS.

“We had to work so hard for two points and they were getting easy attempts on the blocks,” said Lady Wildcat coach Michael Parks. “If some of our other attempts had fallen in the first half, maybe we would have had more confidence in the second.”

When one watches Michael Parks in action, don’t expect to see a version of Bobby Knight.

Parks will not be seen yelling on the bench in front of his Apalachee High School Lady Wildcats. Parks certainly will not be throwing a chair. After each game, wether a win or loss, Parks remains calm and composed, in control. The coach who undertook a major building process a few seasons ago is perhaps beginning to see some return on the dividends he has put in.

The Lady Wildcats have already set a new school record for number of wins in a season (six). The AHS girls have given Loganville a battle in two games this season and enter this Friday’s matchup with region and county rival Winder-Barrow with a sense of confidence like the program has not experienced.

With two wins in recent contests, Winder-Barrow High School girls basketball coach Brenda Hill hopes her Lady Bulldoggs are now getting on track.

It has been somewhat of an unusual start to the season for the Winder-Barrow High School Lady Bulldoggs.

The team has been without its coach as Brenda Hill recovered from surgery. The WBHS girls were 1-5 going into this week, but their coach is back and says there is plenty of time to iron out all the rough spots which have been showing to this point.
