I've created a smaller video with some illustrative clips from the 2006 highlight video...the point isn't the players involved but the actions portrayed.

Some people learn more through 'visual' learning, and these videos will help them 'see' what we are preparing you for.

1) Post defense with steal and pass to guard Shey Peddy to start the break...Paula follows with a cleanup rebound, and note the jump shot with high release and guide hand staying with the shot

2) Lynley drives (one dribble) from the top of the key in Boston Garden

3) Paula with a reverse direction bounce pass to Karen for an easy two

4) Shey with the greatest play in Melrose basketball history, a strip steal from behind, goes behind the back, and drives in for a layup...should have been a foul as well

5) Shey again drives hard to the basket...gets bumped and lays it in (underhand)

6) Shey hits Meg Kirwan with excellent body control for the layup

7) Shey hits Karen (note where the pass is received) for two.

8) Karen with the face up, "swim move" from the elbow in Boston Garden.

9) Shey with the strip steal on the crossover, and goes hard to the basket for two...and a foul...note the layup technique

10) Paula goes hard for two.

11) Cara Lynch cuts hard from the wing and gets rewarded for a layup.

12) Lynley, again with great body control, pausing for a moment before getting the layin.

13) Paula with a one-dribble move to the hoop from the corner.

14) Cara hits Paula cutting to the basket with a bounce pass through traffic.

15) Paula with a jump shot from three-point land, note the release, jump, and follow-through.

16) Shey gets her 1000th point. These are the memories teams can keep forever.

17) Shey gets a steal, doubling down in the low post, and goes coast to coast in the D2 North championship game.

18) Lynley gets rewarded for a hard drive to the bucket.

19) Shey goes to basket and gets fouled. Note the layup technique.
