Thurston played up (meaning he played in the 3rd/4th grade league). He was usually the smallest on the court, but he is a good ball handler and played the point guard for his team. He scored in most games and is a great passer for his age. He is quite fun to watch.

One of Tasha's last tournaments. She was new to this team who has been playing together for quite a while so she definitely lacked confidence. It was a good experience for her, but hopefully we can plan to get an all La Center team together to give her and the other La Center guard some leadership opportunity.
Cory Allen coached Tamsyn's team for me while I was gone. Alyce sent me a text during the game that said "Tamsyn just dribbled the length of the gym and made a layup!" She also sent me one after Thurston's game -- "Thurston scored the only two baskets."
When the season started I was very concerned about my team. Only a couple of girls had ever played before (one of them Tamsyn) and I knew the other La Center team had mostly girls who had played together for 3 years. I was afraid we were going to get blown out every game. Luckily I think we really only got blown out once and the rest of the games were either close or we would have won if the score had been kept. The girls came a long way and learned a lot and I ended up having a lot of fun working with them and seeing them progress.
