Portledge varsity has started practicing for the 2013-14 season. Grace says it's mostly conditioning so far but that they got to do some scrimmaging yesterday which went well. Says she's nervous taking jump shots for some reason.... shoot more of 'em then! She's trying to keep up with Tamara Simpson who is an excellent player... good idea!

Bunky Reid Championship game will be this Friday night. Thought the season had ended but nice to have an additional game. Go Lady Lions!

Lions practices Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings. Hawks practices Friday nights. Pro-Hoops Sunday mornings, Game7 Sunday nights and Portledge practices weekdays after school. That's at least one practice or training session 7 days a week.... that's a lot, we'll see how it goes.
