1st Game :`(

   We had our first game of the season this past Wednesday against Millbrook High School and ended up losing. The good thing about it is our team learned a valuable lesson about practicing and going hard before games so when we get out there on the floor we'll be pumped up and ready to win. Other than that I think our team did pretty good the second half of the game.

   At practice the next day, we worked hard on drills and scrimmaged a little to work on our transition plays. Towards the middle of practice a newspaper reporter from Free Lance Star came in to interview me and ask me questions about the season, the new coach, and how it felt to be the only freshman on varsity. I was nervous but I enjoyed the feeling of my first time being interviewed ;)

The Pressure's On!

Ok everyone, this is the week of our first regular basketball game.  We will have to drive over 2 hours to get to Millbrook High School in Winchester, Virginia.  I am very nervous.
Tonight parents met with the coaches to go over rules, and sign up for days to provide food for our home games.  Coach Goodson told the parents that the team has been working hard, and we should be a good team.  I felt a little embarrassed when Coach told everyone that the team will have a lot of pressure on them, but I am the one who has the most pressure.  She said that I will play point guard.  Which is a pressured position.  Also, I will be a starter at point guard.  More pressure!  But to top it off, she announced that I will be a Freshman starter, playing point guard.  All I could do was smile.
I hope we do well on Wednesday.  Will let you know.
