Madelynn Cody has been involved with Pattonville basketball since freshman year and worked hard to make the Junior Varsity basketball team this year. While asking Cody how the year has gone, she said her weakness was her defense because it’s a concept that was hard to grasp and “you really have to pay attention to what you coach is telling you.”
With her weakness comes strengths. She is extremely good at shooting. Getting playing time was very important to Cody because she knew the pace from freshman basketball, but moving up to JV was very different.
She has to pay more attention and try harder during practice to get the playing time she deserves.
For her to make her weakness turn into a strength and get a spot on the varsity basketball team next year, Cody will be playing off season over the summer for extra practice.
