6th Grade B-ball

Shelby had her last 2 games of the season on Saturday.  She & I went to Bancroft for the 9:00 game and it was kind of a fun one to watch.  Shelby's team won 18-12 and she scored 12 of her teams points.  She also fouled out with 2 minutes to go.

Then we headed back to Soda for her last game there with Bear Lake.  While I watched the warmups, I was thinking we were in trouble.  They looked pretty good ~ Soda's team did great when the game started and managed to win by a long way.  Shelby scored 10 points in the first half, didn't play the 3rd quarter and only got 2 points in the 4th quarter.  Two games in one day and 12 points in each ~ not too shabby I would say.

It was tough watching them play at the beginning of the season, but amazing to see how much improvement they made over just a few weeks.  It sounds like there is talk of a tournament on the 22nd when school gets out early, so maybe we aren't finished yet.  Then we will see if there is an all-star team?? Oh one last thing - Shelby has a personal coach if that's what you want to call Mike.  Our neighbor and 1st counselor in the bishopric has sort of taken Shelby under his wing and been giving Shelby some private coaching.  I hear he was a pretty good player back in the day and the kids just think he is awesome.  After the game, there was a little playing still going on on the court:

Thanks Mike - you are a fantastic friend!!
