Basketball!


This year I made the freshmen basketball team. We played our first two games and we won them both! It felt good to start of the season being 2-0. I was a little nervous before those games as to how we would do but we have a pretty good team. I loved all the people on my team and it was a lot of fun. Than I got asked to move up to j.v. I had always wanted this opportunity so even thinking about not having maybe as much playing time I still took the chance. I had my first few practices and it was pretty crazy. Having to learn so many new plays and having so much information thrown at you in one day is pretty tough to remember. I was extremely nervous for the game; it was very close throughout the entire time. We ended up winning 30-27. But there were a lot of close times during the game.
Before that game we had our first team dinner. It was at Brenna Gabrielsons house and it was very fun and crazy! We had a big pasta dinner that was delicious(: After winning our game we went into this week of practice very confident and excited for our next game. on Wednesday night the night before our game on Thursday we had another team dinner. Although this one was at kerbys koney island. I knew going into the restaurant that it was going to be very fun, but I didn’t no what the workers at the restaurant were going to think when they saw 11 girls walking in. We sat 6 and 6 at two booths and all ordered on separate bills so, it think the waitress got a little annoyed of us. After we all ate my teammate Brenna decided to order a brownie Sunday for the whole table. One brownie for 6 people. You can imagine how that went! I think we downed the whole thing within 30 seconds. After a little while longer, everyone got picked up and we went home. After a good week of practice everyone is excited for our game. Hopefully we come out with a win.
