4th Grade - Wainwright

Another really close game! Although we lost 13 to 9, we were in it right until the end. As we mentioned at the game, it is amazing to look back on how much you all have improved over the last couple months. Tonight was a new challenge that we needed to adapt to during the game. The other team had one very outstanding player. Number 23 on St. Basil was probably the best player we have faced all year, and for the better part of the game, you shut her down. We adapted our defense to allow other Eagles to help out the girl guarding 23 and it worked. For most of the second half, she was being forced to take really tough shots because you all were playing such amazing defense. On offense, you needed to adapt as well and you all did a very nice job. Both our passing and our rebounding were excellent. The points on offense were as follows: Abbi - 5 Ellie - 2 Olivia - 2 We have had an amazing first half of our season. We can't believe how much you all have improved. If someone had told us 2 months ago that you would be calling plays and running a fairly complicated offense it would have been hard to imagine. You all amaze us. Enjoy the holidays and a well deserved vacation :-) The Coaches PS A huge thank you to all the parents. We know this is a big commitment for you, and we really appreciate your support, enthusiasm and help at the games. ___________________________
