2W, 2L

Four basketball games today! Quinn had CDBL and Upward and netted the wins. He does a good job of including others in his game. Some boys~ you know if they get the ball they are going to dribble and there will be a shot, no matter what. Quinn does a good job of passing the ball around. Today he tried so hard to get the ball to Tate, who hasn't scored this year (OK, may be he scored once?). Tate is a cutie. He would just pass the ball back to Quinn or another boy.

Madison's Sports Center team debuted today. They are the "Hot Dawgs" and in smaller print it says "Try to ketchup." They lost the first game 5-36 and the second game 10-26. Ouch. Actually it's about what we expected. The teams playing at the Sports Center come from all over. These teams are put together and coached by individuals (not a school or community based group). Today's teams were from South Bend and one from Wawasee... both about 45 minutes away. The teams that play here are for the girls who are "serious" about their sport. We knew that if we wanted our daughters to improve in this sport, they needed to play against players better than themselves. The elementary ball just didn't cut it. I'm excited to watch how they will improve. The girls said they had fun playing... Kiley even told me that it was "awesome"... so I guess we have a team with excellent sportsmanship. Ha!


Look at how much bigger the girl is that is guarding Madison (#2)!!

A special thanks to Nancy all the way in Kansas City who helped me with my header. I love you Nan! Wish you were here to help with this basketball team!
