NEW MADISON – The Tri-Village Lady Patriots basketball program held its summer Girls Basketball Shootout Wednesday and Thursday with Tri-Village hosting Russia, Jay County, Troy Christian, Graham, Troy High School, Vandalia-Butler, Miami East, DLH and Tippecanoe basketball programs.
“We always enjoy hosting our 2-day summer shootout,” said Tri-Village coach, Brad Gray. “It is a great opportunity for us to bring in several teams that we typically don’t see during our regular season. It gives our kids an opportunity to start developing the team chemistry that they will need as we approach the new season.”
The two day Shootout included both varsity and junior varsity teams playing in the new PAC (Patriot Athletic Center), the junior high gym and the elementary gym with two 18-minute running clock halves per game.
The Lady Patriots are coming off a perfect 30-0 State Championship season under the direction of Coach Gray.
“We are a very young group this year but they have been working extremely hard so that they can make their own mark on the Tri-Village Lady Patriot basketball tradition” Coach Gray stated. “As a staff we look forward to continue working with and developing this group and can’t wait for the winter season to arrive.”
