2nd Place, but with First Place Hearts and Effort

Our Girls 7/8th mix took second place to the AZ Rebels this past weekend.

Both teams played very rough but we still managed to keep the gap at a minimum [9 points].

Our girls put forth a strong effort and as always we are so proud of them!

They have really blossomed into a great team and we love them all so much.

Strengths:  Chris is a mature player on the floor.  He is a strong rebounder with an "old school" type of game.  Chris is a player willing and eager to give his all to what the coaches ask.  He does what the team needs, thus he is unselfish, sometimes to a fault.  He seems to take several charges per game, giving his own body for the betterment of the team.  His on the court leadership translates into him developing into a strong leader one day.

Weaknesses: He needs to improve his overall ability and play more loose, allowing the game to come to him.  Chris needs to "open" up and allow his abilities to come out, as he works on learning the nuances of the game.  His ball-handling needs improvement, because without this, it makes it harder for him to create his own shot.
