Our 2nd week of games on the 19th were cancelled due to ice/snow, which was good because Stacee and I were dealing with the flu.

Silas Game #3 vs. Storm - January 26th

I got to watch the first half of Silas's game.  He was playing well.

He had a lay-up right at the start.  (Below) It looks like he could have dunked it.

Silas sticks on the person he is to defend like glue.

Silas made (5) baskets and did a good job of passing to get assists.

Silas knows that when he is on the ground with the ball, he cannot get up or it will be traveling.

Silas's teacher came to watch the game.  He knew she would be coming to watch him, along with Popee and Nanee.  Throughout the game he kept looking over at them and giving them big smiles.

Phoebe Game #4 vs. Rockets - January 26th

Phoebe's game was very entertaining.

We were tied at halftime 14-14.

We then surged out to a ten point lead going into the last period.

With the way the rotation was for the game, Phoebe only got to play half the game and had to sit out the last period.  The other team came roaring back and scored a go ahead basket with about 10 seconds left.

We ended up losing the game 30-28.

Mr. McCaffree came to watch the game.  Although we lost, it was a hard fought game.  Nothing to hang our heads over.

Sarah Game #3 vs. Nets - January 26th

The league realized the two teams (4th-6th grade girls) were lopsided so they switched some players around to try and make it more competitive.  Kylie and Graycee are no longer on our team and Mikayla and Lauren have joined us.

We are supposed to follow the line-up each week set by the church (some do some don't).

Both teams played harder this week, which was good to see.

Nets for Jesus!

The game was more competitive, but it was still lopsided.  We won 34-7.  Sarah had 17 points.

Super fans of the day, Popee and Nanee.
