4th Grade - Wainwright

What a game! Two great teams battling it out in a see-saw contest that ultimately ended in a 12 to 12 tie. That game was soooooo exciting; you not only had your coaches jumping up and down like monkeys at feeding time, but your parents as well. I have never heard our fans cheer so loudly. It was awesome! Biddy C took the early lead and controlled the game early on, but you never gave up. We asked our zone players to expand our zone to challenge their outside shooting and you did it better than we ever dreamed possible. On offense you yet again surpassed yourselves with your best passing of the season. All of this combined with your hard work and determination resulted in you taking the lead late in the game. The points are as follows: Abbi – 8 Emma – 2 Sarah – 2 Terrific job fighting through some tough defense. There weren't any easy shots tonight. In addition to the baskets, we also saw some great steals, rebounds, and as we mentioned above, passing. Our work during practice on passing around the outside and good spacing is really starting to pay off. We saw girls thinking 2 passes ahead and going to open spaces away from the ball and, sure enough, the ball came around to them. Beautiful! As always you played as a team, and proved that when you believe in yourself, you can do anything. We couldn't be more proud of all of you. This was a terrific opportunity tonight to help you get ready for the game next week against Niskayuna. They are going to be very similar to Biddy C, and like tonight, you will need to rise up to the challenge. We have a short practice on Tuesday night so we will need to be ready to make the most out of the time we have. Great job tonight, Orange Crush! Let's carry this momentum into our next game. The Coaches P.S. A big thanks to the Biddy C coaches and players for helping us make lemonade when we were served lemons today. Here's our math equation for the day: 1 cancelled game + 1 cancelled game + 2 great Bethlehem teams = 1 UNBELIEVABLE GAME! ___________________________
