Elyse's basketball season since Christmas has been just that, ups and downs. The JV continues to dominate and are still undefeated, while the varsity continues to win some and lose some (in frustration). Elyse is still staying positive (more than her parents) and hanging in there.
She is getting some JV time, but still only part of 2 quarters. She is enjoying being "back with her team" as they are her classmates, and she is doing well making the best of that play. She had some nice buckets against New Hampton this past week and strong defense.
Varsity - When we came back from break to play Waukon, while in and out the first two quarters,she went in the 3rd quarter with the team down by 10 and helped to get us tied up, but then he took her out. She was very confused after that but not complaining. Just confused. (and her Grandpa is NOT happy as she can be doing really well, score, and coach will take her out....let's just hope that Elyse's grandpa and her coach never meet in the hallway...could be ugly!) So while she is getting varsity play time, it varies to how much and how the game is going. But she is playing aggressively and hustling down the court. I continue to be amazed how quickly she gets down the court as one of the tallest girls out there.
Her team came back after break to lose to Waukon and New Hampton but won against Decorah and Osage. Round two begins this week playing everyone again....and we start with....Oelwein! Elyse is pumped! She had her best game thus far against them last time so hopefully she can go in an dominate against "Nikki" once again.
Great job Crestwood and Elyse...keep playing hard and staying positive....I enjoy not having to cook on game nights....although my butt and back are suffering from the bleachers. :) Top two pictures are from a JV game and rest are varsity.
