I went to a basketball game last night. My niece’s team was playing against the public high school in Wahoo, Nebraska. Brent and I drove her out, then watched the game. It was fun. I think it was the first basketball game I’ve watched since last Christmas.
Rachel was a starter. She really plays well. When the baskets switched at halftime, I tried to get some pictures. Rachel’s position was right of the basket, so her back was to us most of the time. I did get two pictures of her being fouled, though. They are below. I’ll also include an action-type picture, but there’s no basketball in the shot. I honestly don’t remember what’s going on in the picture, but it shows Rachel a little better.
They didn’t win. Their team is really young right now. There are no seniors on the team and only three juniors. Rachel is a 10th grader.
That floor is so shiny! My knowledge of sports is limited – where are their sticks? or are they called ‘cues’ in this sport? Bats? I’m really lost…
Heh, I was thinking sort of the same thing…the floor looks like ice…geez, is it so cold in Nebraska that the indoors freezes over too?
Wahoo (hehe)
Awww, Wahoo is still around. That’s where I got my wedding dress. I’m glad that little town hasn’t collapsed.
The final shot of Rachel and her opposing teammate reminded me of choreography from High School Musical or something – snappy arm and footwork, gals!
Gee, Uncle Brad – now that you coach MS wrestlers, it appears you just can’t get enough youth athletic events in you – good for you! (Or should I say, “wa-hoo!”?)
