HARDIN VALLEY — Rebounding and ball control were the two things Lady Rebels head coach Taylor Otto has harped on to start the 2023-24 season.
Those two are things that have limited Maryville early in the season.
But succeeding at them Friday night allowed the Lady Rebels to beat Fulton, 54-41, in the 2023 5StarPreps HOOPJAM at Hardin Valley.
“We knew coming into this game that it was gonna come down to defensive rebounding and ball control,” Otto said. “I think we saw that when we lacked in those two areas, (Fulton) pulled ahead a little bit and shortened our lead.
“But when we took care of those things, we were able to get the stuff that we wanted to get.”
