Our first game was last night and it was exciting 40 to 37 final score. The first quarter we were a head 10 to 6. Now for some back round Mob rules all players must play one full quarter in the first half ok that is simple
but if you don't have 10 players then the coach from the other team get to pick who plays the second quarter with the players that didn't play the first. So our best player Margaret had to set out the second quarter and we had no ball handlers the two girls I held back to do the job got nerves and chocked the other team took the lead 22 to 10 and three of our girls fouled out in the second quarter.
The reefers were young lady's and they called every foul I mean every foul now to their credit they were all good calls but these are 5th and 6th grade girls and if you do that the referees did not let the girls play the game it had no rhythm or flow and it took two hours. I understand this is probable some of the first game they have worked and they won't to do a good job. And in doing so they did a bad job. We had 32 fouls on our team alone we finished the game with four player on the court.
Back to the game or should I say the Margaret show yes this girl is from a different planet. I told her at half time. Just take your time and play us back in the game don't get in know hurry we have plenty of time. And she did exactly that rebound run the whole court layup after layup the other team could not stop her she scored 36 of our 40 points At the two minute mark Jamie our smallest player got fouled. In practice she has not been able to get the free throw to the basket so I have been working with her on the granny shoot but that little shit stepped up and made both free throws shooting the ball the right way and gave us the lead. She was so proud of her self and so was I. These girls play with a lot of heart.
Summer worked the bench great keeping the players that fouled out motivated and in the game explaining the rules and showing them what to look for and what to do when they got back in. I know we are going to lose some games and win some games but last night was a special night.
