Busy-ish

GraceAnne is attending the Freeport Game7 basketball camp this week at the Freeport Rec. Mostly boys and they DO NOT PASS, at least that is what I have been told by Ms. Woods. She says that they are weak players and that weak players don't pass.... especially boys. I'll go with that, I like that theory.

 

Full day of camp, 5pm game in Freeport Summer League, 6:30pm game at Molloy Summer League, sleep, back to Freeport Rec for the second day of camp..... I'm having fun watching this.... kind of like a self imposed basketball gulag.

Me, "So, did you get better today?"
Woody, "Yep..."

Defender 3 can either sink in to stop penetration or apply pressure b...
