A pretty strong 9-1 record, an undefeated start to region play, and more. “More is yet to come. We are not done, we are not just going to be a one hit wonder,” the defender said. “This is going to happen again and again and again, so just make sure they are ready for us […]
A pretty strong 9-1 record, an undefeated start to region play, and more.
“More is yet to come. We are not done, we are not just going to be a one hit wonder,” the defender said. “This is going to happen again and again and again, so just make sure they are ready for us to come – period.”
“Happier players, better team chemistry. We brought skull sessions into it. We brought a psychological aspect to try to make the players bond a little bit better,” coach said.
The girls said they’re playing their game and believe they can get over the hump to make it to playoffs. Laguines said this hot start to the season is going to be the new normal.
Going into preseason, the coaches came up with new strategies towards practice, conditioning, and even focusing on the psychological part of the game. The result?
“We became a family so quickly. It’s honestly kind of crazy how quickly we all became friends and just the chemistry on and off the field is just great,” the sophomore said.
That’s the new attitude coming from the Demonettes this year, thanks to a complete program makeover by the coaching staff.
“A serious self-examination as a team as to what would make us better, and what would allow the program to take that next step to make the playoffs – cause we missed it by one game the last two seasons,” said head coach David Flanders.
“A loss can define a team and it really helped pull us together instead of pull us apart,” he said.
The past two seasons, the Demonettes have missed out on the playoffs by just one game.
Laguines said she was shocked at how fast they were able to connect as a team.
“We are not the underdogs! Every single year, people think just because we go to Warner Robins, we’re bound to be one of the worst teams – but as we can see, we’ve got some talent on this team,” said sophomore defender Marley Laguines.
Warner Robins suffered an early loss to Mary Persons. Since then, the team has been riding an eight-game win streak. Flanders said that loss was an eye opener for them.
