So, yesterday, the 7th grade daughter (5' tall) had a basketball tournament and they finally won their first game and acted with class like they'd actually won before - proud moment with regard to all the girls and coaches! They've always played hard, and improve every game and only have 7 girls total on the team; combined 7 & 8 grade girls. They're in better shape than most teams due to this fact, but often find themselves out platooned by teams with twice the numbers and somehow ALWAYS have players pushing 6 feet tall. (These are Lutheran School teams, so players and coaches working with a Christian foundation)They played the host school for the consolation bracket Championship and lost, but played well against a squad of 8 with 4 girls all pushing 6 foot and all really solid shooters - our girls have had more shots hit the back of the rim and bounce out then I could have imagined possible! Anyway, coach of said team is over the top; pretty much a jerk to his players being verbally negative while they're on the court WITH A 20 POINT LEAD! Our girls have played them 3 times and given them fits each time, with the other team winning each game including this one. Finally, during one time out the crowd could clearly hear him across the gym with me in the top row of the bleachers tell one of them, "next time, I want you to take that ball and stick it right in her gut" raising my ire enough to finally yell back "COACH, get some class" at the precise time where the place was perfectly silent. Said clown glared my direction, shifted his glance left and right and shut his mouth and sat down and managed to conduct himself in a more respectable manner the rest of the game.Previously in the week, these teams played at our school for their second conference game with my daughter going up for the ball against one of the taller players with both clean but coming down hard - Madison walked away and their player left the game and was still sidelined for the tournament. Well, towards the end of the tournament play, one of their girls was continually sticking her knee out when someone slipped a screen. This player was bringing the ball in-bounds against Madison with Madison blocking the pass out of bounds three times in a row, causing great frustration for said player and her coach. On the 4th attempt, their girl increased her force with Madison again right on top of her at the edge of the court, blocking it perfectly to the point where it bounced back and broke the girls arm! Found out that her coach calls Maddie - "Bulldog"

I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
