Out of The Lion's Den and down to Princeton
GraceAnne had only one game this weekend against a very good sixth grade all star Christ the King team.
They lost by a lot, couldn't beat the 3-2 zone but played hard against much bigger faster girls. Hopefully they learned something because they will be playing the same team again on 3/9... they have not had a practice in the last couple weeks and it showed, RUST.
After the game we went down to Princeton for a workout with Ms Awesome Carrie Moore.
This time we took along Jenna Brown who is a Lightning teammate and just a really good kid. She is only a fourth grader, a solid 1, tenacious defender and already understands many of the finer points of the game. No surprise given her basketball pedigree, daughter of Matt Brown-Son of Herb Brown who is the brother of Larry Brown... yes that Bobcats coach/asst coach future hall of fame Herb and hall of fame Larry Brown.
Anyway, the girls all get along well and had a blast.
The girls were tired and their energy level might not have been as high as usual but Carrie has set the bar very high. The girls had a lot of fun. Carrie had just gotten back from a road trip to New Haven and Providence RI where the Lady Tigers beat Yale on Friday and Brown on Saturday night.
They worked on their shooting form, passing on the break and reading/taking what the defender gives them. Did all the ball handling drills that they have been working on as well.
Long day but the kids seemed to enjoy one another's company and getting pizza at Iano's and Frozen Yogurt at the Twist is always a good thing.
This coming weekend we'll be heading back down this time for National Women and Girls in Sports Day where they will have clinics, an autograph session and the Lady Tigers will play the Columbia Lions.
Gonna check out the Princeton v Hofstra lax game earlier in the day as well, hopefully the weather will be good.
