Exhausting and Fun

We had a crazy busy, whirlwind, basketball-filled weekend in Boise this past.  Our fourth annual pilgrimage for the Catholic 8th grade tournament.  They won their first two games (woot, woot!), then lost one which put us in the "losers bracket."  Then they had to win the next three games to make it back to the championship round and they pulled it off!  That made for SEVEN games in less than 48 hours.  Crazy!

Sadly, the championship game was against the one team they lost to earlier in the tournament and they played their little hearts out, but didn't quite beat them.  It was so close!  They were sad.  Heck, the adults were sad, but they still walked away with the 2nd place trophy which is nothing to sneeze at.

Glenn giving them a pep talk after the final game.  Those were some sad girls.  Losing is hard.  Just like life.

Glenn and his assistant coaches.  Nicole and her classmate, Chaye, have helped him the past two years (after playing for him for two years).

Ellea's played for him for four years.  Not sure what next year will bring now that both our girls have "aged out."  Maybe switch to coaching boys since Morgan will be that age soon.  The kids insist he has to coach someone!  It's tradition!  It's fun!  (It's exhausting!!!)
 

Good job, girls!  You should be proud.  I am.
