This Week's Games

Megan had two basketball games this week, one on Tuesday (at a local school) and one tonight (about an hour away).

They lost Tuesday night's game, but from the first half to the second half, they only allowed seven points for the opposing team. Their defense came on strong. Alex arrived during the 4th quarter, so he was able to see the last few minutes of the game.

Tonight, we were short two of our players, so Megan got to be one of the starters. And, she actually put the first points on the board! Her efforts tonight added six points to their winning score of 33-10.

After receiving the inbound pass, Megan glances over at Coach to receive the next play to set up.
Dribbling around her defender.
Coach talking with the players and their parents after the game. He informed us of what they are working on to improve, what they need to improve, and how far they have come in just several weeks of practice and three games.
After the game, we stopped at McD's for a healthy (not!) meal with some of the team. It was fun to get to know some of the girls better, and it warms my heart to see how they have accepted Megan onto their school's team. Tomorrow is their team's Christmas party, which Megan is looking forward to. She is supposed to take a tree ornament, and we found a cute basketball one. We'll see what she comes home with.
