Ditto on this, MBF. She has been very impressive both games. I checked her stats from last night and in 17 min., she had 9 pts., 3 reb., 3 assists and 1 steal. I'll take that any time! And that pass was Ticha-like. Speaking of which, Ms. Penicheiro better be hurrying back before people start...

I'm actually a little surprised by this. Here was the post production last night from those whose position may not be assured: Chantelle: 12 min., 2/6, 0/2 4 pts., 3 reb., 1 st., 3 TO, 1 BS Olympia: 16 min., 2/5, 0/2 4 pts., 1 reb., 1 st., 1 TO, 1 BS Greenwalt: 12 min., 2/3, 4 pts., 3 reb., 0...

Another suggestion from today's Bee... http://www.sacbee.com/content/sports/story/12872534p-13721706c.html I also thought that, while I'm not completely clear on what Monique's role as assistant coach is, during the season they could have Ruthie be an assistant coach and work with the guards...

I have to disagree. Ruthie’s number totals decreased over the years, but so did her minutes. But if you look at her shooting percentages, they remained in the same range. In fact, her 3-pt. percentage last year was the highest of her career. I am not saying she is the offensive force she was in...

It was just on Channel 3, Coach Whiz, Ruthie, Danette (?) and Jerry Reynolds. Ruthie's statement was something like: "No matter what happens, I'll always in my heart be a part of the Monarchs and to me seeing the young girls even on this team - seeing Nicole, Haynie and Chelsea - seeing them...

Not too hard to read between the lines here...

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Thanks for the link! It was great to see the photos from training camp. With the Kings' season over, I'm even more anxious for the Monarchs to start. I also like the Ruthie quote. That woman has the heart of a champion, and that is something that you just can't teach.

Today the Monarchs waived Anne O'Neil. No big surprise, but maybe that's it until after Friday's game?

Well, Nanc, since you already ripped the scab off... We miss you Tan!!!

Sleepypee’s right!!! Get rid of Ticha!!! Who needs Lawson??? Heck, who needs the team??? Giuliana is a genius!!! Let her BE the team!!! You won’t need Yo to rebound because Giuliana won’t miss a shot!!! We won’t need defenders because Giuliana can guard everyone at once!!! You won’t need a coach...

It sounds like Yo and DeMya are both still playing (based on checking their Russian sites). And if my assumption based on the schedules is correct, we're in trouble time-wise. Yo's team is playing Spartek, and their schedule shows games May 3, 4 and 7. DeMya's team is playing Dynamo and their...

Using your roster, I would guess Haynie backs up Ticha, and Mendiola or Ruthie backs up Kara. Coach may go with one fewer "big" in order to keep another guard, and Yo remains a nagging concern. I also think Maiga could be a question mark, but it sounds like she's playing well. I would love to be...

Two quick questions... Is anyone going to the exhibition game against the Chinese National Team on Friday? (we'll need a scouting report) Does anyone know whether Comcast Sports Net is going to carry all the Monarchs games like they did the Kings?

You’re right, Sleepypee, you’re just too smart for us. We’re just a bunch of fans that share our thoughts with each other, not always agreeing, but respecting each other’s opinion. Perhaps you could find another, more intelligent and knowledgeable group that would appreciate your wisdom and...

RDub, I agree we need that great on-ball defender. I'm not familiar with Newton's game, but I wouldn't count Ruthie out yet. She and Edna played tenacious defense last season, and with Edna gone, Ruthie is proven in this department. Also, she brings a real maturity and leadership to this team...

I agree with MBF, you can't work on chemistry when half the team isn't even there. I also don't mind all the players in camp because you can't judge until you see someone on the floor. In fact, if we just went by returning players, trades and draft picks, then Mendiola wouldn't have even been on...

Training camp roster from Monarchs web site: Returning from last year: Chantelle, Ruthie, Brunson, Yo, Lady, Kara, Maiga, Mendiola, Ticha, DeMya Draft Picks, Trades and Try-Outs: Buescher, FeiFei, Greenwalt, Grima, Haynie, Lijie, Newton, O’Neil, Powell, Scott-Richardson and Wilson...

Well, it's good news because it means she's in camp, but there are 19 names on the roster and only 11 spots plus the IR. I have every faith that Ruthie will make this team, but I'll breathe easier when the final roster is announced next month.

Well, Monarchs fans, it's finally here. :D Time to start dusting off those thunder sticks and getting ready for a new season. Coach Whiz, whose coaching strategies were fodder for this board last year, will get his first real test as GM Whiz - G Whiz for short - having certainly fulfilled his...
