She shoots...she scores! Lia's team won 3rd place (out of 3 teams) at the Ohtani Jamboree. In the first game, she took a spill as she and Alexandra played bumper boats and collided. In the second game, they lost 6-3 to BMU. The 3 points that we scored were thanks to Lia's free throws. Luckily, I was not present at that game, so Lia could feel less pressured to score! I think I make her nervous when I shout "SHOOT THE BALL!!!!" at her during the games.
Ryan's team did great! They won 1st place (out of 4 teams). They played against a co-ed team that they had played twice before (each team had one win). But at the Jamboree, Ryan and his teammates played good defense and came out ahead. The second game was against a San Mateo team whom they had never met. Before the game, Ryan said "I have a bad feeling about this." However, they played hard and were able to beat them 14-10. The best part of the tournament for these boys was when Coach Marty rewarded them with Yu-gi-Oh! cards.We are really proud of all of the kids for playing their best. It was a long and busy day, but they came home and happily displayed their participation trophies in their rooms.
