JPII Basketball Ends

Emily's regular season of middle school basketball ended this week.  She gave it her all in every game and really racked up the steals and rebounds as the season went on.  Although they came up 1 point short in their final home game (Emily's 3 point attempt with less than a second left on the clock hit the rim, circled around and then fell out of the basket which was a heartbreaker), they played better and better with every game. Emily played almost every minute of every game, sitting only when the game was way out of reach for them or when the other team got too chippy and it looked like they were trying to hurt her.  As a coach, it was really great to watch them grow as a team and to finish the season strong.
