Basketball game

On Saturday we played in the Claude tournament. We played against the Nazareth Swiftetts. They have won the State championship 6 or 7 times. Before our game we watched our guys team play Sunray. They won it by one. So that kind of got us pumped up for our game. The game started pretty well. I forget exactly why, but we had to redo the jump. We played pretty well in the first 2 quarters. I think we held them pretty close score wise. We were having trouble with our offense though. We are strongest in defense. Another problem we had was hustle. Poor Candace was out there working her tail off and most of the rest of us were just out there watching. She was not very happy and neither were our coaches.134. In the second half things got worse because most of us ( except Candace) are out of shape. So we were out sucking air while running up and down the court. The other team was very fast. So in the last quarter, in order to get us to start trying, my dad gave us goals to aim for. He wanted us to make 30 points and to keep them from scoring 70. We managed to keep them from scoring 70 but we only made 20 points. The final score was 68 to 20. So now we get to run a whole lot more in practice.
