Girls basketball dropped a Friday night / Saturday morning series yesterday and today. Friday night, we lost 42-34 to Justice Academy and Saturday, we took a pretty serious beating, 45-25 from Brandeis. Friday’s game, we could have and should have won, but Brandeis just out-played us today. We scored a grand total of five points in the second and third quarters. We just couldn’t find the basket.

What’s so frustrating is that we show moments of really doing exactly what we want to be doing, but, as a young team, we tend to follow them up with mistakes. Our goal is, clearly, work hard, get better as the year goes on, and then do some damage to an unsuspecting team in the playoffs. This is the kind of team that is going to make me prove to myself that I know how to teach basketball. I know this can be a very, very good team. I think I’ve got to convince the girls they can be.
