The kids played their best half of the season to start the game out today, trailing by only two points at halftime, 18-16. Unfortunately they weren't able to carry that momentum forward with them into the second half, as the other team pulled away. We ended up losing the game today by a score of 49-26, which is still a drastic improvement from the 63-16 score the last time we played this team. For the last several weeks the other coaches and I have been noting significant progress during practice, but it wasn't carrying over into the games. We started to see that in today's game, at least for the first half. Samantha had a relatively good game once again today, playing strong defense and performing her ball handling duties fairly well. She got off a shot, but was a little farther away from the basket than she should have been, resulting in a miss.
