Basketball!

Basketball has begun! 

 

 

And Boo is a force to be reckoned with! She is point guard and her leadership skills are incredible! She has so much confidence and is a quick thinker. She follows her coaches orders and executes the plays with precision. 

 

 Her first game she made 8 points! She also had lots of rebounds!

 

  

 

 

 

She is great at volleyball but basketball is definitely her true love! 

 

 

 It is so fun to watch her out there playing her heart out.

 

 

She gives it all she has and leaves it all on the floor...literally. Bug and Peanut counted that she was on the floor over 10 times and she came home covered in bruises, but no one can accuse her of not giving it her all! 

 

 These girls fought so hard! They started the season as a JV only team but they only lost to the best team in our league by 4 points so the league officials told them they needed to bump up to Varsity! That means a few more games, but it also means they can letter. We are proud of our tiny little school being so competitive this year!

 

 

 

Their second game was two hours away. I usually don't go to this one but I really wanted to see Boo play! My friend B came with Peanut and I and Noni kept the little ones so they didn't have to make the big drive. We got there just after they started and I ran to the bathroom. When I came out the boys coach told me I just missed Boo scoring! Bummer.  

 

 

 

But I got to see her score three more times plus a free throw! The first game she scored 8 and the second 9 so I told her the third game she has to score 10. Haha.

 

 

 

The first half was rough. This team is really good and they were down by 20, but they really stepped it up in the second half and ended up losing by only 9 points!  

 

 

 

Boo went up to block this shot... 

 

 

and then got the rebound. 

 

 

And took off! 

 

It's so fun to watch these girls improving their skills and getting better with each game! Looking forward to lots more games this season!
