basketball game 4

today, our team got to play in another game! we played the "red team" whom we beat by 1 a few weeks ago. this time, we were ready to go with a box and 1 to play on their star player, who we refer to as super girl at practice since we dont know her first name, although according to her jersey her last name is  Morton. at practice when dad was acting as Morton, he had a little too much fun with being referred to as super girl :)

so as im sure you guessed, i was super girls shadow today. the entire game, neither of us ever came out. i face guarded her extremely tightly, and honestly spent [probably 70% of the game staring at her face. on defense i played tight and never took my eyes off her. never. i had no clue where the ball was, but i ALWAYS knew where she was. and it worked, she only scored 2 points while i was guarding her, but had 4 in transition and 2 when one of our girls fouled her. on offense, i also had the privilege of being with my friend because she was at the top of a 2-3 zone and i did alot of aimless dribbling to waste time with her standing right in front of me.

sadly, since i was totally worn out from being with supergirl, i didnt do too much on offense. i had 6 quick points at the beginning and then only scored once more. it didnt matter though, we went up quick and stayed there! we did have one scare, with 2 minutes left they cut our lead to 3, but Kaitlyn stepped up and hit big short corner shots to seal the game for us!

this was one of the most fun games ever! and i made friends with Morton! i guess that happens when you spend an hour staring at someones face haha, but she was very nice and complimented me and our team as well, and helped me up a few times when i got knocked down (im on the ground alot).

i cant wait to play this team again!
