I am sure that if there is a namebrand of bleachers that is engraved on it, it has to be permanently stamped in my butt after I have spent so much time watching so much basketball. Elyse's freshman team has been busy playing lots, and she also travels with the JV so that leads to many, many nights on the road. Thank goodness we love basketball or it would be a long month. Considering the freshman play at 4:45, followed by the JV, and then the Varsity, 3 games every night is a lot of basketball.
Elyse's freshman team had their first conference lost 2 weeks ago. And wouldn't you know it, it was against "enemy's" team. If you have read any of my previous post, you will know who Elyse's enemy is from Oelwein. The team came out slow to get going and were down by 10 going into the 4th quarter. As we pulled closer, the team pulled it within 2 with 1 minute left. Elyse shot with 15 seconds left and it went in!!!!! That tied it up and put us into overtime! We hung with them and then Elyse fouled out.....she was pretty crushed as she played incredible defense against "Enemy". We ended up losing. Oh well, that is their only conference lost so they are still leading the conference. Two freshman games left.......cross your fingers we win them both.

| Elyse scoring against enemy |
She has gotten in on some JV games...even scored last week....but usually she enjoys the bench with her cousin, Miranda, when the JV is playing. They bothplay almost all of every freshman game, so moving up and dressing JV and getting in at least a little each game is something they are proud of.......we are proud of them too! They have had a super season! I will be sad when the season is over....but my butt will be thankful.
(She is number 32 in white and 33 in blue. She is the one shooting in most of these shots except the one where she is boxing out)
