Popular Post Parr8hed Posted February 12, 2018 Popular Post Share #1 Posted February 12, 2018 Em's travel team. They have not been together long. I expected to go and get our teeth kicked in this weekend. Team did really well. Won 2 and lost 1 on Sat. Got to Semi's on Sunday. Lost in Semi's to a very talented team. Won our consolation game for 3rd place. Ended up 3rd out of 8 teams. Emmy came off the bench in 3 games on Sat and contributed 15 points, plus various steals and rebounds. I didn't keep stats on Sunday's games. She continues to amaze me with her grit. In the game that we lost on Sat (to a very aggressive team) with two key defensive rebounds and drove the length of the floor to beat the press. The look of determination on her face was just priceless. A lot of the parents were laughing at her "pissed off face" She started our last game. Another girl got the tip and it went straight to Emmy. She turned and drove to the goal and drove right over the top of another girl who was out of position. Got the shot, the foul and connected on the free throw to put us up by 3. Really set the tone for the game. I told her coach that her game is softball. He laughed and said that he had never seen her play softball, but assured me that her sport is basketball now. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted February 12, 2018 Share #2 Posted February 12, 2018 The good news is in a few years both can be her sport. HS basketball is a winter sport which doesn't interfere with summer travel softball leagues or spring season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
