Junior guard Megan Sparks has thrived under head coach Salle

BY MARCUS )ACKSON SPORTS REPORTER

When Brady Salle was introduced as the new head coach of the Eastern women's basketball team last April, there wasn't a player on the ros- ter happier than junior guard Megan Sparks. Sparks, despite being third on the Panthers in scoring last season averaging 10.4 points per game, fOund herself in former-Eastern Head Coach Linda Wunder's doghouse. Sparks started the first 11 games oflast season before being benched by Wunder, coming off the bench for the final 15 games of the season. "It was frustrating," Sparks said. "I may have had a couple of off-nights, but I didn't think it was anything for me to lose my job over." If Sparks continues playing the way she has so far this season, job security is something the Mattoon-native will not have to worry about. So far this season, Sparks is averaging 11.3 points per game fur the Panthers (8-9, 1-5 OVC), who are just one win shy of eclipsing last season's total with 10 games lefr in the regular season.
