Last night as I went home about 10:30 there was a Cheshire Cat moon in the sky. It reminded me of the scene when Alice asks her father if she is mad. Her father says he believes she is but the best of us are. I think it was also smiling at some of the events of the evening. We waited for two seventh grade games to conclude before we began our contests. All year we have had the goal to win the first game and to compete in the second game. We fell 4 points short in the first game getting outscored 15 to 19. We were 4 for 13 from the free throw line. It seems like the same story. Missed free throws and missed shots. Lauren C scored 11 points, Giselle D added 2 and Marley and Chelsea each added a point. The record is 1 and 7.
The games with Carrizo were snowed out during December and I don’t think they were meant to be played this time either. Twice in the first quarter we had a bat delay. Then between the first and second quarter the bat made another appearance and a Carrizo girl threw a water bottle at it and missed but the water bottle broke on the court and we spent time mopping the water before we could begin. We didn’t play defense, pass the ball or make shots and when we got on the bus the final score was Lytle 5, Carrizo Springs 49. We have one game left for both teams on February 1st. We are 0-11 overall and 0-8 in district. We are averaging 7.9 points a game which would be great if we were a hockey team. We are allowing 44.5 points per game. If nothing else it has given me a fire for track season to have throwers who are focused on victory and will take nothing less than beating everyone in the district.
