The AHS coach likes the
new region setup, however.
“Any time you play any
one twice in your region it
should mean a lot,” he said.
The Lady Wildcats trav
eled to Union Grove for a
preseason scrimmage last
Friday. The teams played
into the fourth inning before
weather conditions caused
the remainder of the contest
to be cancelled.
AHS is scheduled to play
at Loganville High School
Wednesday (today) at 5:55
p.m. before traveling to Dac
ula for a region contest Tues
day, also at 5:55 p.m.
A junior varsity tour
nament, hosted by AHS
and Winder-Barrow High
School, will be at Victor
Lord Park Friday and Sat
urday.
A total of 20 teams will
compete.

The WBHS student-ath
lete has benefited though
from one of the strongest
support networks you will
see. Her parents are at each
game she plays, including
the ones in Spain.
Coach Thomas does a
great job promoting all of
his players and his program
as a whole. At the event
last week there were pho
tos of the team from their
summer work as well as a
display about Nelson-Odo-
da. During the team's state
tournament run last winter,
Thomas used technology so
that fans who couldn't be at
the games could watch live
on the Internet.
The Lady Bulldoggs
have a constantly updat
ed Facebook page for fans
and Thomas even had a
photographer to capture
images of all of his play
ers in action on the court.
Thomas' promotion of his
program is something not
normally seen at the high
school level, more so at the
collegiate one.
No doubt Nelson-Ododa
also benefits from the sup
port of her teammates, all
of whom were in the first
couple of rows at her press
conference last week.
It's going to be fun to
see just how far basket
ball eventually takes Nel
son-Ododa. Her height has
helped her tower over most
opponents but her skills are
also at a high level and con
tinue to improve with each
game and each practice.
The exeperience she gained
this past summer (which
included some time with
her WBHS teammates) will
prove invaluable during the
upcoming Lady Bulldogg
season.
A respectful person in
all ways, Nelson-Ododa
does not seek out the spot
light. She's in it, however,
and the way she handles it
speaks well for all of Wind
er-Barrow High School and
Barrow County in general.
