Bridge City rolls with the punches well

[East TX]

Bridge City looked solid against 4A Lumberton.  BC graduated quite heavy and it looked like a typical rebuilding team on paper this year.

Surprise, Sarah Armand came alive with an innate ability to drive the ball down hard into every small cleft and crevice that can be found in the opponents front line of defense!

It did not look very good in the first game as Lumberton's #10 Courtney, a potential All-Stater for the Raiders looked just too dominate. Instead, the Cardinals started playing very smart ball--Kosh, Armand, Guidry, Marley Lopez, Sara MacPherson started compensating for the torrid advances from the Lumberton team, using savvy and smart techniques.  Bria Thidodeaux and Amy Caillouet made contributions to the efforts at important points during the games.

Everyone in BC land laughed at the #4 state ranking of the Cardinals early on and yes--it is a stretch--but they will hold their on this season.  A 3-1 night against Lumberton was a good outing!
