Let's Play Ball!!

It's that time of year to start basketball.  Liv has already played five games.  Unfortunately, they are defeated at 0-5.  We normally see improvement each week, but last week was a little rough.  Her team averages about 12 points per game.  We had a problem shooting at first.   Now we are shooting more, but not going in.  We've changed some things up that will hopefully allow us to get some more offensive rebounds and put those in.  Our defense is good because the other teams aren't scoring much on us either.  Hopefully we'll be able to turn things around for her 3 games this weekend.  Sorry, no pics of her team yet.

Halle had her first games on Saturday, December 1.  They won their first game 40-13.  Wow - 40 points for 4th graders!!! Seemed like everything they put up, went in.  Granted the rims are lowered a foot, but these girls are also a foot shorter.  They had a great inside game.  Halle had 4 points and 4 assists.  She does a great job handling the ball and looking inside.  Game number 2 we lost 20-13.  This team had a really good post player that took away a lot of our inside game.   Halle ended up with 2 points and 3 assists.

Our friend Molly played in the game before ours on the same court.  Her team also won their game.

Halle will be playing on Saturday's through February.  Liv will be done with this league December 16.  She'll start Junior High Basketball after the Christmas break.  Can't wait!!!
