Well this day started with quite an adventure. It started with rain and went on from there.
We had one player that was going to be out of town and 2 possibly 3 players that were ill.
We arrived for our game feeling a little apprehensive in that after a GREAT practice we were walking into this game with at least a third of our team inoperable.
Well our heart fell even more when we saw the SIZE of the players of the opposing team. It was truly going to be a David vs. Goliath situation, except we were not able to use rocks!
Well I must say that even though we had to improvise for each period with only 6 players to rotate, I saw our team SHINE!!!
Even though we were truly out played, due to our size and years of experience - WE PLAYED WITH HEART!!!
It was a rush from beginning to end and the players and fans didn't give up.
Needless, to say we didn't win according to the scoreboard, but in our hearts we did. We even had the coach from the other team congradulate us on our determination to keep trying.
The team truly played with heart and as a team....I was truly proud of their effort.
Both our point guards: Brooke and Jenna showed incredible courage as they would often face opposing players much larger than them. They were often doubled teamed - but that didn't stop them.
Bravo!!!!! to team Crush.
- Coach Stough
