“Before our season even got started, we lost our all-district player, Myeasha Peters, to an injury that occurred during our jamboree on Nov. 10,” Varnado coach Garnet Fornea said. “She will be out most, if not all of the season. These first two games (Mt. Hermon Tournament), we have played without half of our team, for various reasons. So, I’ve had to add some of our Jr. High players to fill in the positions. Eighth grader Deneilla Dillon, along with freshman Shunti Williams and sophomore Naya Bell have had to step up and play in the positions of point guard and on the wing. We are struggling right now to make adjustments and we are relying on the leadership of senior Eliza Seals and junior Myeshawn Fox to get us back on track. We did not perform well in either game at the Mt. Hermon Tournament, but we are working on getting our new starting five in place and familiar with each other.”
Mt. Hermon’s next game will be on Wednesday in the Franklinton Tournament against Loranger at 6:15 p.m.
Franklinton plays again on Nov. 28 against Kentwood on the road.
Varnado’s next game is Nov. 28 against Christ Episcopal School on the road.
