We got off to a blazing start today, taking an 8-0 lead
early in the game. I knew that we weren't going to maintain that pace and blow
this team out, but I never expected that the opposition would wind up scoring
the next 30+ points, either. No matter what we tried, we just couldn't find a
way to stop this team. I even tried having Samantha guard the oppositions best
player, but it didn't help much (although she did a fine job covering him). This
team is just better than us - they were taller and have more experience, which
makes a major difference at this age group. We obviously have a lot of things to
improve on, so hopefully we can get right to work on that during practice.
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.
