Another Successful Basketball Season

It seemed like we just got started, but today marked the end to another successful basketball season for Maddie.  Along with her buddy, Mikayla, they were the M&M's.  Here is a picture of them after their big Win today.


It was great to see how much the girls improved this year...at the same time, they had no problem scoring baskets.  One game we counted nearly 40 baskets made!  Kinda crazy for 9-10 year olds.  Maddie got off to a slow start in December when she wasnt feeling too great, but that barely held her back.  She hustled all the time, was aggressive, learned to pass more (she likes to shoot), and most of all had a smile on her face.  Something that even her coach pointed out today when handing out trophies.  Speaking of aggressive, she even got a little experience going up against some girls that like to "mix it up" - and she hung tough!

We are super proud of her and her commitment to the game.  We love her spirit and desire to get better.  Tough to teach that kind of stuff.
