ACGC Girls Basketball Looking to Run into New Season

The ACGC Chargers Girls basketball team is looking to build off their results from a season ago. Last year the Chargers finished the year 12-11 after a 72-45 vs Treynor in the second round of the Class 2A Region 7 tournament. Last season the Chargers really relied on their defense to win games as they held opponents to 40 points per game and were very active in passing lanes and applying ball pressure as the Chargers averaged 17 steals per game which helped lead to easy uncontested layups. The Chargers struggled a bit offensively as the team shot below 30% from both the field and 3pt line with just shooting 60% from the free throw line. Head Coach Brad Baudler knows that the Chargers have to get better shooting the basketball and set the standard high for his girls this summer. Coach Baudler gave each girl a goal of making 5,000 shots over the summer from all over the floor in hopes to help build confidence and higher percentages from the floor this season.

Coach Baudler really gave credit to his juniors and seniors for setting the standard for the younger girls and showing them the way of Chargers basketball and their dedication to stay in the gym and put in the hard extra work it is going to take for a chance to win the West Central Conference this season after going 10-5 and finishing fourth last season.

With the Chargers offense improving this season Coach Baudler is very excited to see the results pay off and to see his teams shooting percentage rise and help his team win more games. The goal for the Chargers starts with trying to win the West Central Conference and Coach Baudler knows to do that the Chargers will have to take care of home court advantage.

The Chargers will open their season on November 28th when they travel to Atlantic to take on the Trojans for a 6pm tipoff.
