Wounded birds
El Dorado travels to Camden Fairview tonight to face a wounded champion.
The Lady Cardinals went undefeated last year but lost their season opener to CAC 74-70 on Monday.
Unfortunately, Jasmine Canser apparently re-injured the same knee with the surgerically repaired ACL. Who knows how long she will be out or if she will miss her entire senior season.
Fairview is also without Ori Pitts for other reasons.
As long as the two Rogers sisters are playing, I won't feel sorry for the Lady Cardinals.
My heart does go out to Canser, who has worked so hard to become a great player. Her senior year is when the rewards should start to roll in. Unfortunately, but understandably, college coaches will back off to see if she can still play at the same level.
Everything happens for a reason. I can see Canser going to a smaller school because of the injury and I can see her getting healthy and having an incredible All-American career. This young lady had dreams of playing in the WNBA. I hope she's still having those dreams because they can still come true.

In brighter news, the Smackover-Parkers Chapel game lived up to the hype. These two teams played as hard for four quarters as you can play.
It wasn't the best-played game - too many missed layups and missed free throws - but the intensity level and the overall atmosphere made up for the lack of scoring.
Great game between two solid teams.
By the way, for those who don't know, the Lady Bucks prevailed 36-35.
