Swarm took down a 9-2 8th grade team on Saturday to start Island Garden Super League. Really fun game to watch if only to see how kids have progressed and how the new girls fit in. One thing is certain, all these girls hustle on every play and there aren't going to be a lot of minutes to go around. Otherwise it was an extremely physical and very poorly officiated game. Those games don't usually favor our girls, we're not bangers. This time they came out on top. Good way to start off.

Glen Cove JV won their final game of the season to go 12-5. Pretty good! No post season at the JV level so High School ball is all done until next year. GraceAnne had a good time and the daily practices definitely improved her game and kept her in shape. I think she really enjoyed playing up at the High School, meeting and making friends with the older girls and generally just getting a taste of what High School and High School basketball are all about. As a dad I'm thankful she got the opportunity just because I think it will ease her transition socially from Middle School to High School.

Now we are back to once a week practices so I'll probably have to find Grace something else to do basketball-wise. Wait 'til she starts asking though since I'm already enjoying having a bit of a break. Maybe it will last until AAU begins....
