• Game Summary: Bethlehem vs East Greenbush – 3/4/08

Posted by Dave Homsey on Mar 03 2008 at 04:00PM PST

Does anybody remember when our first practice was? It was October 4, 2007. Five months ago to the day. That's a long time, but it seemed to fly by. You know the saying... "Time flies when you're having fun."

What can I say about tonight's game that I didn't say already? I think you all saw the result of all your hard work and practice. Your coaches saw it, and your parents saw it. And we are all so proud of each and everyone of you.

All the pieces of the puzzle we've been building this year come together tonight... offense, defense, rebounding. We had season highs in points, assists, steals and rebounds. 

Ummm, yeah... that'll work. 

Oh those passes! I've told you many times this season that, to me, there's nothing more beautiful in the game of basketball than a nice pass. It lifts everybody up. You had soooooooo many nice passes tonight, there was a lot of lifting going on. If the silly ball would've fallen through the hoop on a lot of those shots like it should've, we might have scored 50 points!

And now for one final time this season, I present to you...(drum roll)...the stats:

Final score: Bethlehem 27, East Greenbush 12 
Points:
Jordan - 8 
Emma - 2 
Kate - 2 
Rachel - 2
Sarah - 2
Lily - 10
Grace - 1 
 
Rebound leaders: Rachel & Sarah - 4 
Steals leaders: Jordan - 6 (wow!) 
------------- 

To Austen, Lindsay and Alex: You all played great tonight. You each had shots that coulda-shoulda-woulda fallen, rebounds and some nice passes.

We are a team. We pick each other up when we're down, and, as we saw tonight, we push each other higher and higher when we're up.   

Thank you all for a wonderful season. I had a ball, but more importantly, I'm pretty sure you did, too. The true measure of the success of our season will be when I see all of you signed up for basketball next year. Look for opportunities to keep playing over the summer (yes, you can actually play basketball when it's warm out!) and keep doing those ball-handling drills. :-) (I snuck in one last coachism)
