Bonner-Prendergast’s Bridie McCann takes the ball up court in the first quarter against St. Hubert at home Tuesday evening. (PETE BANNAN – DAILY TIMES)

As she lay on the court writhing in pain, Bridie McCann had the worst thoughts in mind.
She wondered how bad her knee was injured, or if she would be able to walk off the floor under her own power.
“I was scared,” McCann said after the Pandas’ 63-45 loss to St. Hubert. “I had to take a few breaths.”
After a few minutes, with help from her coaches and training staff, McCann hobbled off the court. All St. Hubert players in the game at the time — this was midway through the fourth quarter — came over to wish her well.
With a minute left in the game, McCann walked gingerly back to the Bonner-Prendie bench. The heart and soul of the Pandas, McCann would be OK.
