LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – With less than three seconds left the shot went up, clanged off the boards and brought to an end a most unusual season in recent memory for Trojan fans. Little Rock would not advance to a conference tournament semifinal that would not even take place.
The work to fix that single season blip began the next day, but it would not be a traditional route. That next day was when the sports world ground to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Teal Battle had the seven-hour drive back to Little Rock to reflect upon the heartbreaking loss and how to guide the team back to normalcy in her senior year.
