We kind of expected to be able to get an easy win today
because the team we were playing hadn't scored more than 8 points in either of
their games. Of course, we gave up more than that in the first half while we
couldn't get the ball through the hoop. We fell behind early 10-2, but did
manage to cut it to 10-6 before halftime. The second half started out the same
way, with the opposition pulling out to another early lead before we cut it down
to 2 at the end. The kids could have had a shot at a tying basket if only the
coach or I had called a timeout after our last basket. Unfortunately we both had
a brain freeze and didn't do our part. Another aspect today was how physical the
game was - I finally had to yell at them to take it easy before somebody got
hurt. We have a bunch of kids on our team that should have played football!
Today's final result - a 22-20 loss for our boys. Tyler is still doing his best
on defense, though, and that makes Tara and I pretty proud. Just a reminder,
Tyler is orange #8. Enjoy.
One more "Thank You" to Tara for taking
pictures of the games for me.
