Basketball

Today was Casey's first time to play a basketball game. I was very curious to see how this would go. She loves soccer and can play a mean game, but I've always been her coach. I wasn't sure how she would take being yelled at by someone other than me, and how would she take their directions? She seems like a natural at soccer, barely even being told half the time what to do. So here we go. She was a starting player. She did great, she played defense against a girl a whole head taller than her and never backed down. You can tell she's fearless out there! She played and played and never seemed to get upset if she didn't make a basket. It was pretty darn funny though because she kept guarding that girl even when her team had the ball. We will work on that. But all and all I thought she was very good. Of course she got a green star for best defense! On the other hand, Connor's team at Holy Souls is ranked #2 overall in the league. They have only lost one game so far, and that was by one point in the last few seconds of the game.
