This weekend was Paityn’s 1st basketball tournament ever!!!!!
Coach Joe wanted to start off with a tournament schedule to see how the girls looked against other teams. Since we just found out earlier in the week that Paityn made the team, we were a little shocked that there was a tournament already, but actually happy.
I could tell she was very nervous. Her stomach didn’t seem to bother her, but you could tell when you looked into her eyes she wasn’t quite sure what was going on.
The girls had 2 games on Saturday and 2 games on Sunday. The 1st game they played a Centennial team and ended up beating them. The girls scored over 30 points, Paityn had 4 of them.
The game started and she had to jump, since she was the tallest girl. I looked at Paul and said…”hopefully Joe showed her what to do”. You could tell, she was a newer player, but the more they played the better she did. The girls didn’t run their offence, scrambled around quite a bit, but ended up winning the game. They were happy and in the end that is all that matters.
The girls had back-to-back games so the 2nd game was against McMinnville. They played really good, but ended up losing that by 6 points. We later found out that they were an “A” team also, so that made the girls feel a little better since they are only a “B” team at this point. Coach Joe wanted to see how they looked before he actually placed them.
Sunday they also had 2 games and they ended up winning both of them. The girls ended up in 2nd place behind the McMinnville team and 3-1 for the weekend…..not bad at all for their 1st tournament of the year!!!!
Great job ladies!!!!
