Big first quarter propels Barbs to victory

DeKALB – DeKalb girls basketball coach Chris Davenport wants to make it clear that he’s not a psychologist. He’s been trying to get his players to shoot with greater confidence throughout the season, but he can’t analyze their thinking in great detail.

What he can do is make them shoot, and he can make them shoot some more, which he did throughout the Barbs’ nine-day break that ended Tuesday. The Barbs played shooting games, they did conditioning drills combined with shooting drills, and they mixed in shooting to other types of drills.

Admittedly, Davenport also mixed in a little psychology.
