Black Comet Defender

Emma played her second basketball game this week.  She plays in the Verona rec league on Wednesday nights.  She is on the Black Comets team!  The season starts out with 3 practices and then there are 4 games. Its really fun to watch the kids learn how to play as the weeks go by.  In the first game, Emma was a fantastic on the ball defender, following the ball handler around the court and waving her arms furiously over her head to make sure they didnt get a good shot or pass.  This week, in the second game, she was a great all around defender, staying with her girl and keeping herself between them and the basket.  She kept her arms above her head waving furiously the whole time on defense!  She even followed her girl on offense!  Bo Ryan would be so proud.  Its really fun to watch!  Here's a shot of our great Black Comet Defender!

She has the defense down. She has teamwork down. She shot the ball this week and scored--that amazes me too!!! There has been so much improvement and her coach does great at helping them learn something new each week. I notice she did not skip this week in the game either. I may miss that.
