This past Saturday was Presley's (and Chad's) final Upwards basketball game. She has had such a great experience this year. I'm amazed at how much she has learned about the game of basketball while also learning the fundamentals and having fun the whole time!!
These 2 were her loyal cheerleaders (although I think they were in it for the concession stand), always yelling for Presley and her teammates, The Dragons.
She loved running the ball up the court and was so good at dribbling...a lot of the kids just ran up the court forgetting to dribble.
First friend, Grace was on her team.
The cheerleaders, again. This time with their lift partner, Ryne. ; )
During half-time of the final game the coach from the other team pulled Chad aside and asked if there were any on our team who hadn't scored all season. We had 3 on our team, so during his half-time speech Chad talked to the team about how we are a team and it doesn't matter who scores for the team so he encouraged the kids to try to pass the ball to those 3 kids. And if they didn't have an open shot, Chad helped make sure they got open. :)
Presley actually got to score twice like this...her first shot didn't go in.
And take a look at that smile after she finally scored! Love it.
What a great season!
