It’s not very often that Team Managers hear a roar of approval from the crowd, but last night’s game was an exception. With an extremely nervous coach watching two young 6th graders take the floor against our arch-rival (and earnestly praying for no injuries), I couldn’t help but feel like we were getting a quick glimpse into the not to distant future of Lady Lion basketball.
There were two plays during the second half that absolutely ignited the capacity crowd. The first was on Maddy’s first touch of the game when she calmly drilled a wide-open jumper. And the second was with less than 10 seconds left on the clock, Hannah stripped the ball from an Emmanuel player and pushed it up the floor, passing to Maddy at the basket for a lay up that just beat the buzzer.
Maddy finished the game 2 of 4 for 4 points and Hannah had 3 steals and 1 assist.
Not a bad first game.
