The Vance Charter Girls Basketball team is off to a 4-1 start this season and head coach Brian Howard is kind of happy about it. “The one part in the 4 -1 isn’t very satisfying,” Howard said on Thursday’s SportsTalk. That “1” part that Howard refers to is a 49-47 loss to Falls Lake. “We left points on the free throw line and missed points in transition,” Howard added.
This week Vance Charter defeated Granville Central 58-10 in a game that saw Vance Charter’s Alaina Bullock record 14 points and 9 steals. “We preach defense. I’m a defensive-minded coach,” Howard said about allowing only 10 points in the game.
Vance Charter has been putting solid teams on the court over the last several years but Howard feels that they are all quite different. “This year’s team is one of the most connected, due to chemistry, I’ve had,” Howard stated.
Next up for Vance Charter is East Wake Academy on December 15th.
