Let's take a look at the highlights in Katy Covington.
Parris is sharp at Covington inside.
She's a great player around the basket.
and you're going get that jump shot when her feet are set.
Thomas led the way she's a player's player.
just got to have her on their team.
That inside game led to that this move by and then Covington hits a three.

and give me the keys in the second by both teams.
Well, number one, I think the green way we're going to try to make to their big players.
try to bang it inside, players in foul trouble.
and the defense on the perimeter.
The force errant passes like we just saw and it'll stay with Terrell county and down the air will be Charlotte gesture big first half for Shay Thomas 12 points from the baseline see it on here on her as but they're going to break it up more ball pressure the passing lanes to stop that ball from getting inside that ball knocked away and Sheila gesture to start the second half.
Thomas will just put up the shot Perry's had it now You've got to rebound the basketball and go straight up and get it up And a little full court action full court press by Terrell County.
tempo 2 to 1 press one on one with Henry.
out of the press to shoot a layup You can see there'll be a time out.
Get out of that press.
2422 in double figures for the Lady Cavaliers and the Cavs playing that tough man the man that he love the pressure the guards knocks it Alabama at halftime look for Calvary day the pressure on the perimeter so now that and look like Brett Farve where they want to make their next pass wave are green and gold.
I'm glad you caught that.
There's a high screen on the ball and look, watch the post dive.
Covington will be called on the foul as Ken Henry got the ball in the high post.
Think you'll see a plan that first foul on Covington Hewitt and don't go to the Cavaliers there again within the first minute or so in the second half a near steal day now it's turnabout is fair play to uptempo their pressure Terrell County now they're showing a little full court action day is like trying to chase up Katie Covington's heating up full of refrigerators with the lights off.
You can't do it.
I mean, it's they're very efficient handling the ball.
the fifth league change of the game.
that's Thomas with a jump stop at the corner for the wall for a quick time out here.
