Season has officially kicked off!



We played CHE last night at home. They only have 4th & 6th grade so 5th got the night off. Well, not really they had practice at 7:30. We won both games. Yee Haw!
4th grade:
I was really beginning to wonder if the ball was ever going in the basket. I think we were unofficially 1 for 30 in the 1st half...and the shots we had were good looks. Halftime score told the story...2 to 2. However, a drought will only last so long before it begins to rain. We got the same shots in the second half, they just finally started going in. Oh well, that's basketball at its finest...sometimes you're on, sometimes you're not. Final score was 19-6.
6th grade:
We came out strong with full court pressure and the score was 10-0 before I had time to yell at anybody. It was funny, during the end of the 1st quarter I looked at the score board...21-0, and told the next 5 to go in after halftime. Alexa said..."coach, it's only the 1st quarter." I couldn't believe we scored 21 in the 1st quarter. Final score was 34-4.
Next game is this Friday night at home.
4th grade vs. Paragould at 4:00. 4th grade, you may want to bring your uniform to school and head over to the gym right after school. Bring a snack if you need some energy before the game. I'll be at the old gym at 3:00.
5th grade vs. Swifton at 5:00 (be there by 4:30)
6th grade vs. Swifton at 6:00 (be there by 5:30)
Also, our 5th and 6th boys play Swifton after the 6th grade girls games. 5 games this Friday...should be fun!
Remember, we play Lake City Saturday morning at 9:00. This will be our first conference game. I heard they won all their games last night against Caraway. 6th grade won 27-6...ouch! Right now let's worry about Paragould and Swifton. See ya Friday!
