Rachel's team played at 9, and won again easily, 17-4. She played some point guard as well as forward (her usual position), so she was excited about that.
Collin's team (the one I coach) had an easy time today, winning 30-6. I'm a big believer in sportsmanship, and having had a child play on the opposite end of more than one lopsided score, it's a difficult thing for me to see even being on the other side. Today we played everybody, kept our "star" players out more than half the game, inverted our guards and forwards and centers so they were all playing different positions, asked our main scoring threats to pass the ball to others who had not scored so they could shoot--and we still won by 24. We had six different players score, and it could have been all nine pretty easily, as the other three had multiple shots that just did not go in.
Didn't like the way the schedule lined up--next week we play the undefeated team who has not played a close game all year--except one. We lost to them in overtime by 2. I'm sure they'll be looking for revenge, believing we caught them off guard. We'll see. We've had no practices in two weeks now due to gym conflict, and have 1/2 court on Thursday for an hour, so there will be little-to-no preparation for the game. We'll still show up. We'd like to win.
Then saw my beloved Wildcats whip our hated rivals, the Tennessee Vols, by 19 on a CBS telecast. Always enjoy that.
Collin and I shot baskets at halftime, and he's shooting again. That boy loves basketball.
