February 23rd, 2014
After nearly a month of no action (besides practice),
Samantha's basketball team returned to the court on Sunday, February 23rd. Their
first game was against the Monarchs, and from the start it appeared as this game
was going to be an ugly blowout (and not in favor of the Avengers). Thankfully
things turned around in the second half, as the girls started to make a game of
it. Things got interesting right at the end, but they were never quite able to
get over the hump, and they wound up losing the game by 2 points, with the final
score being 32-30. Sam played pretty well during her time on the court, scoring
two points on a shot but missing her opportunity for two more on free throws.
