What a basketball season!!!!!!

OH WOW!!!

Hadassah had such a wonderful basketball season!!!  She played so hard and aggressive!!!  There was sweat and even some tears!!!  The whole team played to win!

Basketball games were every played every Tuesday after school VS other Christian Day Schools.  The Linville team also had practice every Tuesday and Thursday after school.  Let me tell you, they worked hard to get so good!!! 

We went to all the games!  It's road time and game time and cheering time and by the evening all said and done ... it's supper time!  :)  I love watching Hadassah play sports and these games were so much fun!

Every year there is a tournament at Conestoga Christian for basketball teams to compete.  Linville went and did well!!!  The girls played hard and were determined to go all the way!  They made it to the finals and even took it down to the seconds to try to win!  Parents were cheering from the side lines and the tension was thick!  It was so close for them to get the first place trophy but they had to settle for second place.  They lost that last game ... 14-12.  And just as the buzzer went to end the game, a foul was called!  Jenna got to take foul shots.  She tried but missed with all our nerves going crazy!!!  :)  Second place is still great though!!!  They worked hard and had so much fun!!!

Take a look at those determined eyes!  Hadassah was point guard and scored so many points!
 


Bringing the ball down court.  She wanted number 44 like her dad but had to go with 4 since the higher numbers were not an option.  :)  Her dad is her hero!

Time out to go over a few drills and take a breather!  Courtney got her finger jammed right at the beginning of the tournament.  Not fun but she took courage and played the ending games.



One of many baskets went in for Hadassah!

Team picture!

These girls played so hard!  They all did great!

Best friends!!!

 
--------------------------------------
Last night was the last basketball game that Hadassah will play for Linville Hill.  I can't believe that we are already looking into High School options and that she is visiting Faith Menn. today.  It seems like we just enrolled her for kindergarten!  Yelp!!!!  :)
 
This game last night was again against West Fallowfield.  The girls again had us on the edge of our seats as they went down to the last minutes to try to win the game. 
 
Foul shot ... and this makes me chuckle because Courtney is in the background again!  These two girls do everything possible together.  They call each other at least once a night even after being together at school all day long.  They just seem to be each others shadow.  We, as parents, are so happy that she has such a great friend!!!
 
Every minute counts so go fast!!!  Go hard!  And ... Courtney right ahead of her!  :)

They are not holding hands!  Defense at it's best!!!
 
 
With basketball now over.  No more after school practices.  No more going to games.  We now think more spring sports.  Track.  Soccer.  It all comes so soon!!!
 
Good playing Hadassah!!!  We loved to watch you play and loved to see you sweat out the tough games!!!  You are so good and we are proud of you!!!
