I was honestly hoping that we would just score this game -
I wasn't worried about a win or a loss. After being shut out during our last
game, I didn't want that to happen again, for the players or the coaches.
Thankfully, we got on the scoreboard first, taking a 2-0 lead. In a closely
fought game, we managed to keep scoring! In fact, we scored enough to pull out
an 18-17 victory! Miracles do happen, I tell ya!
Samantha played well today, despite not scoring once
again. She continues to impress me with her ball handling skills. I really
didn't think that she had that in her since she rarely practices basketball. She
had some nice rebounds today, which is fairly impressive since she isn't exactly
a giant out on the court. She even had some nice looks at the basket, but
unfortunately she couldn't get her shots to go through the hoop. If she keeps
playing hard, like she has been, that those points will come.
One reminder when looking at the pictures - Samantha's
number this season is 1, so keep an eye out for that if you can't figure out
which one she is when looking at them.
