Graceketball

First AAU action of the season tonight. Rising Stars have been coming together but it's a new team with inexperienced players. I think we may have had maybe six practices? That would be fine but we're playing two of the top 8th grade teams on Long Island this weekend... jumping into the deep end of the pool. Might as well get right to it! Be interesting to see how Grace plays. She's in a position where she needs to step up and lead a team on her own for the first time. She's going to have to stay focused, keep her head up and go hard no matter the score. Ws aren't going to matter as much as how she handles herself. Here we go!

GraceAnne Woods received Nassau County A2 All Conference honors last night at the Nassau County Girl's Basketball Coaches Association's All Star Dinner 2013. That's a mouthful. What it means; She played well this season, her coach Corinne Turner nominated her for the award, the other coaches in the conference agreed she should get it. Pretty cool for an eighth grader to get an All Conference award! GraceAnne and her mom Remi It was a very nice night at the Crest Hollow Country Club. Several of Grace's Glen Cove teammates were also honored and we ran into a bunch of coaches, parents and players we knew from other school districts. The Mepham girls Grace trains with at Pro-Hoops cleaned up with a bunch of awards!
