Carly was excited to play basketball again this year, she is the sweetest little girl out there- I swear! She always has the biggest smile and giggles the whole time she runs up and down the court. She is also the fastest little runner, she flies up and down the court to be on offense or defense.
This is Ashlee's second year playing, she has had a lot of fun- but wishes she didn't have practice everyday after school for 2 hours. The middle schools (7&8 grade) play each other every Tuesday and Thursday. I love that she is able to be around a completely different group of girls after school, so she can continue to make new friends. She runs up and down the court like it's no big deal, and is really good at getting herself open so a team mate can pass her the ball.
When I saw this picture I laughed... do you see how the girl has her arm completely around Ashlee's waist?!
This is Lexi's first year doing basketball, and there was some bribing offered to get her to play. She is a great athlete and plays softball very well, but has only played softball for the last 7 years. We encouraged her to try a new sport to keep her active and help her in developing new talents. She was very worried about being brand new in a school, being an 8th grader, and the worry of being a terrible player. She surprised even herself how much she has enjoyed it- and no, she's not the worst on the team.:) She has also made many new friends through basketball.
