Marie spent another winter staying busy in the gym with her friends and coaches. This girl has found a love and desire for this sport and it is so much fun to watch. Joe and Andy once again teamed up with another dad to coach the 5th grade girls. They learned a lot and improved every tournament.
With the uncertainty of it all this year, we weren't sure basketball would happen. We realize this was a risk but the team was as safe as they could be while still being somewhat carefree 5th graders having fun and learning more about the game. Friday nights she'd set her alarm for early tournaments and be ready to go - never complaining.
Marie learned a few lessons...especially about jump balls and not giving up till the whistle blows. She was dedicated and a good teammate, coachable, and still hungry to get after the teams that beat them. They took first place at a tournament and it was pure joy on their faces after that hard fought win.
The boys were troopers - getting up early for tournaments and cheering on their sister in the stands. She will have to repay the favor eventually!
