We're Now 3-0
Tonight the girls played Alvarado. We won by more than 50pts... but Ryan scored 25pts, so that part of it was fun to watch. Other than that, not so much. I hate games like that because I don't think any team deserves to be blown out when they've all worked so hard! So while I love to win, its no fun unless its a good game. Coach Neff put the bench in for alot of the game. In fact, more than half the game had the 2nd string in. It was pretty sad.
This is the opening tip-off. The other girl didn't even get close to the ball.

This girl tried to step up on Ryan and shoot while in the lane. As you can see she never had a chance.

Ryan joked with Coach Neff all day that she was going to step up and shoot a 3 pointer. She's only shot one or two of them the entire time she's played basketball so he just rolled his eyes and laughed. It was late in the 2nd quarter and she was standing in the corner near the baseline and she started to pass... I could see her getting ready to dump the ball. So I shouted, "SHOOT IT!" She already had the ball up high for an overhead pass and she just turned, keeping the ball high (which indicated that she'd probably come up short) and the ball went straight through the hoop. Nothin' but net!! I was soooooooooo excited!!! Of course I didn't get a picture of that!!

Awesome job on Ryan's game. Marshall's team played in a tournament this weekend, swept all 4-games and won the championship by 3 points. Marshall had a total of 3 3-point shots over the weekend, one of those in the championship game!!
