Basketball

It's cold as ever here, and cold weather means basketball season. This is Mari Cagle's second year playing, and she's really enjoying it. She and her teammates have wonderful coaches and they even enjoyed a Lady Husker's basketball game together. They play better and better each week and seem to be having lots of fun, so it's been a great season. Yesterday, MC had her best game yet, playing "with her hair on fire." Her dad was especially proud that she fouled the other team. I realize it may sound mean and a little odd to reward her for getting called for a foul, but it's a real challenge to get young girls to play aggressively, so in that context, we were excited. I put together a montage of clips from the game so you can see just how great she played. It includes some great defense, her foul, and her shot!
