Apple Picking

Apple picking with her Lions teammates today.

Did well enough in Bunky Reid fall league to make playoffs. Two games tomorrow night at Yes We Can Center in Westbury, win or go home. Chip is on Thursday.

Won a couple games in the Rose Classic last week and played well. Trained with Jay Hernandez at Pro-Hoops in Glen Cove and went all out. Riverside Hawks tryouts went well, made the team, had first practice and looks like a nice group of girls, nice, knowledgeable coach. She's a Lion though, we love what Dave Johnson has been doing with her, the team, the parents, the girls, the tournaments and competition.... can't beat it!

Portledge Panthers season coming up!

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