Adel-DeSoto-Minburn sophomore Aubrey Noring has been playing with a brace on her right knee through the first eight basketball games, but details that it is improving.

Noring, who also participates in softball for the Tigers, suffered an injury before the season to her right knee, but has still been effective on the floor. She’s scored 26 points in eight games, accumulating 19 assists, then has grabbed 13 rebounds and 8 steals. Noring is shooting 36 percent from the floor, 45 percent from the three-point line and 50 percent from the free throw line. She admits that wearing the brace has been difficult in terms of mobility, but is slowly getting better day by day.

“I’ve just been trying to take it one game (and) one practice at a time, and I definitely think that it’s getting better and that’s been great. And I just have to remember to keep that confidence in it, and just hope that I just keep working on it and that it just keeps getting better.”

Despite the brace, Noring has started in all eight games so far, as ADM has won four straight contests, leading to a 4-4 overall record (3-1 inside the Raccoon River Conference). The Tigers will have a non-conference game against Van Meter in Adel next Saturday, January 3rd at 2:30pm.
