Dribble For The Cure at St John's
Family had a wonderful day Saturday at St John's Dribble For The Cure! Grace raised over $300 this year for pediatric cancer research. Beautiful weather too!
This is the second year that St John's has done Dribble and Grace has been there for both events. Last year she raised over $350.
Got to meet John Starks which was pretty cool... he asked Grace "You a baller?", "yep", "How old are you?", "13", "Thirteen? You're not even done growing yet! Look out!". Nice guy and very friendly.
Really wanted to get a picture of her with Coach Carnesecca as well but couldn't get over to see him in time. Got to see our buddy Laura Barry and chat for a little bit. Also spoke with women's head basketball coach Joe Tartemella who is definitely a good guy.
A very nice day and a great way for Grace to be involved in fund raising for a worthy cause. Important for young people to get involved, feel engaged and understand that we're all in this together.
Thought about doing a workout with Laura after the event but it would have been a little crazy, even for us, since Grace had a game in Northport at 4:30. Slept all the way to the game in the car. She played well but they lost by one in spite of a furious late comeback. She is playing in a fall league at Nothsport for Game7 McCombs. Kevin McCombs has been solid and Grace loves to play for him. Of course, it's another team of girls who haven't really played or practiced together before but that's ok, as long as they're having a good time, getting good minutes and competing. Grace just needs to keep playing and keep having fun, varsity season is a couple weeks away and then things will get serious.
Sunday she had a game with her CYO tyro team which they won. They beat a St Mary's team that had a couple girls she's played with in the past. Love seeing all these young ladies growing up into good players and nice people.
