basketball update for those who care.
Been a while. I've been busy like everyone else. It's a good thing. The last time I sent a blog out "my girls" had just played 5 games in one day. We have since played in three more tournaments. I just wanted to give a quick update on their progress. (as I know some of you may be interested) To date we have played in 5 tournaments. We have made 3 finals appearances. Unfortunately, we have lost 2 of 3. But that is ok, we have lost to two really good teams. The other tourney we got 3rd. Not bad at all. I think the girls have probably collected more hardware this tourney season than we have the last three years combined. (4 medals) I am very proud of them. (as usual).
This last weekend we played with a new team. I had 4 of my regular girls gone. That makes it a little difficult. We were very fortunate to pick up 3 good players and just had a blast. I mean, we got to the final game again. This coming weekend, I have 4 regular players missing again. Lucky for us we have 2 good guest players. It will be fun. Going into it with no true point guard will be interesting. But Katie Beth is up for the challenge and I have all the confidence in the world in her. If there is a girl who can handle the job, it is KB. I get to have an old "Shock" player return this weekend as well. Sam turned into this good volleyball player and decided last summer to give her attention to volleyball. Well, lucky for us, she has the itch to play a little ball, and it worked out for her to play with us this weekend. My other prize recruit, who played last weekend as well, brings an interesting dimension to our team. Beri is like 5'8". I already have Zoe who is 5'9". It is very fun having the twin towers. Beri has a great attitude, fun to be around, good team player. I anticipate having alot of fun this weekend. If practice last night is any indication of what to expect, it will be good.
I will update again later on the girls. I have attached a few pictures of our team. A friend of mine took these pictures for us. We spent an evening taking pictures about 2 weeks ago and had more fun. The girls really thought they were modeling something special. It was an awesome time. Later...
