Seeing "Enemy" Once Again...

Elyse shoots....she scores

Boxing out Nikki

team time out....Elyse is "35"

Elyse turn around shot...did make it..

Won't say much about Elyse's basketball game last night against Oelwein except that the officiating DOES make a huge difference!  Wow!  Crestwood never got a break the whole night. 

Elyse did get a little action on the JV, not much as she has to save her quarters, but she did get in and scored a few.  The JV dominated over Oelwein and pulled off a huge victory so that was fun to watch.  Long though as the officials called everything and Oelwein's JV had a few freshman on the team that struggled.  Lots of whistles blowing throughout the game, but super job to the JV. They are still undefeated!

Varsity has gone to 4 and 3 overall, 1 and 2 in conference.  Last night was a rough night as the girls ended up getting called for everything.  I had to turn to my dad and tell him to calm down many times, even though we were all yelling at the officials.  But Elyse was pumped because she knew she would face "Enemy - Nicole".  Those of you who follow this blog know who she is.  Elyse went in the middle of first quarter, all of 2nd quarter, and most of 3rd quarter playing awesome ball, great defense, and shut Nikki down!  I feel comfort saying she had one of her best games defensively thus far.  She ended up having 4 fouls half way through the 3rd quarter, some legit calls, some not.

So although we were winning at half and tied or close at end of 3rd, the varsity team ended up losing.  Can't win them all....but Elyse wanted this one desperately!  Next time...
