Life in college
Ouachita Baptist freshman Marandalynn Parker is back in Arkadelphia after the Lady Tigers opened the season with two games in West Florida. OBU is 0-2 after falling to the host team 79-54 on Saturday.
Parker played 12 minutes, hitting her only shot attempt. She had two rebounds, one assist and two turnovers.
Marandalynn expressed some frustration with her playing time and with the two losses. In addition to adjusting to the speed and athleticism of the college game, she also has to adjust to the travel after admitting to me she didn't get her homework done in the hotel on the trip.
These are things no high school kid understands. Nothing prepares you for life as a college athlete better than actually being an athlete in college.
Around the Gulf South, Julie Smith, at last report, hasn't seen any action at Arkansas Tech yet after returning from knee surgery. Krystal Herring will redshirt this season at Henderson with a shoulder/neck injury. Ellana White wasn't listed on the boxscore in SAU's last game.
