December Basketball

The basketball season started earlier this month.  Both girls are playing varsity - mostly for logistical reasons, but Emily is proving that she is good enough to hang with the varsity, having started two of the four games so far.  Elizabeth picked up right where she left off last year - insane on defense.  Every game, she's had several steals and rebounds, caused numerous jump balls and scored a few baskets.  The girls are 2-2 and improving every game.  The coaches are very good - but for some reason, they thought that I would be a good addition to the coaching staff, so I'm helping out as an assistant coach too.

Both girls started the second game, side by side.

Happy and embarrassed to score her first two points of the season.
