Game 5 vs. the Bucks (Boys Team, obviously) January 6th, 2007
Comets Win 19-12
We are now 3-2. I don’t guess it really matters when they are this young, but every time our team scores or the other team scores I see Ashlynn and two other real competitive little girls on her team check out the score. Their expressions are unique and priceless regardless of the current situation in the game. Ashlynn had a really good game. She scored 7 points offensively and her rebounding has really improved. Two of them she snagged out of the air. Last year she would wait and catch them off of the bounce. Her catching ability, ball handling, and dribbling has improved tremendously this season. It has been a long time since her last game but we went and practiced and played 4 times over the break and she did well.
AJ did a great job defensively. In her league they plan man defense and they wear arm bands to distinguish who they are suppose to defend. She limited the boy she played against to two points. One time he was able to get a clear shot because AJ ran into another player trying to get back into position. On his other three shots it looked like he was shooting out of a well. She has good position in front of him and to avoid getting it blocked he would shoot straight up. All three were air balls. The third went straight up and almost landed right back on his head. It was funny. I guess that there are five more games left now. Ashlynn is having a blast. She is going to play a late spring/early summer league this year instead of softball. I guess she has officially retired from softball and soccer.
