Hoop Group at Kean
Team stayed in both games the whole way to the buzzer. Lost the first by two and the second by 18. How do you stay in a game down by 18? Keep your head up and keep fighting, defending, going strong, looking for open teammates, setting screens and moving the ball. Outcome might not have been what they wanted but this team has heart. Best I've seen them play and if they keep progressing they will be beating these same teams in no time. Coach Lepore deserves a lot of credit for keeping these kids positive and working hard.
GraceAnne only played two games over the weekend. Did her thing though. Got to play against her old team and I think she was very satisfied with her effort and her play if not the outcome of the game. Had numerous blocked shots... with bad intentions. Also went strong to the rack and drew a bunch of fouls, didn't shoot well from the line. One play she went coast to coast and did a full speed euro-step to get past a very good defender (Ashleigh Sheerin who absolutely KILLED us offensively) went strong to the hole but could not finish..... crowd went "OHHHH!" when she made the move. Second day our games got canceled which was probably a good thing. Had traveled down to Wayne PA so the kids could visit their grandfather who's in the hospital after a very bad fall. I think the whole family was happy to have Sunday together on the front porch with no games.
Practice Wednesday and then Commotion by the Ocean in Rhode Island for Memorial Day weekend. Have to get her to take some free throws this week.
