Rebeca's First Basketball Game
Today was Rebeca's first JV basketball game and Dem and I headed over to the Christo Rey High School gym to watch her play.
(Christo Rey is an impressive looking Jesuit high school located in what was once a large grocery store. I remember shopping there not so very long ago)
It wasn't a high scoring game, with only 19 points scored overall. But for 75% of the contest I was impressed by how aggressive - legally aggressive- her team was. It was attack attack attack on offense, swarm and suffocate on D.
They had 3 point lead with 7 minutes left. And then. And then.
The opposing team subbed in two girls that hadn't played yet and They.Were.BIG. The tone of the game changed dramatically, with their size dominating the lane and all the air knocked out of Beca's team.
Final score: 11 to 8.
Beca played the entire game and never once took a seat. She notched two steals and one basket, accounting for 25% of her team's total offense.
It was fun and I'm proud of her!
