Yesturday, Sat the 27th, the kids had more Bball games. I ran the score board for all 4 of the games.
Jaspen played first at 10am and wow!, what a difference in her play vs last week!!! Her team won 26-11 and she scored 6 points. At one point she was so tired running back and forth from stealing, that after the subs she was deep breathing. We will be working on her breakaways and lay ups.
Talon was next and played at 2pm and he has also improved in the game! He did not score any points but he was guarding his guy very well. I don't recall the boy he was guarding ever getting the ball. He did get one rebound and went up to shoot but it was swatted away! They lost 9-22. We will be working on him running down the court and watching the ball more.
Journey played her 4th grade game at 3pm and was amazing. She cannot do full court press so she had to wait at the half court marker to begin stealing! She has that part down. She got 1 foul and was passing a lot after dribbling down court. She made 14 points and the score was 21-10 and had way to many rebounds to count.
Journey then played at 4pm on the 6th grade team where they CAN do full court press and she had many takeaways to which she scored points on. That girl always shines and at one point the other teams parent sitting with me keeping book said "here comes your daughter with the steal...yup! aaaand there she goes." :)
The score was 21-10 and she scored 9 points BUT she missed 5 out of 6 free throws so we know where she needs to practise a little bit.
It was a long day and also enjoyable watching the kids play. I am very proud of all 3 in their achievement's. Looking forward to this next Saturday.
