Basketball KK

 KK missed her first game. It was supposed to be 2 games but for some reason they changed her schedule last minute and they had a bye the first week. Worked nicely for us! KK's season started out rough like it did for soccer! The last 3 years she had the same coach and many of the same players on her team. Her coach decided not to coach this year so her team was split up. She and two others were put on the same team but this team had been playing with each other for probably the last 3 years (same coach). Just like soccer the other girls wouldn't pass to her or the other two players from her previous team. She could be wide open and/or on a fast break and they wouldn't even glance in her direction. They would force a pass to another teammate that wasn't even open. It was frustrating! Plus KK is used to bringing the ball up and at least in the beginning they rarely let her do that. If she wanted the ball she had to get it herself (steals or rebounds). 


Ruthless...tripping girls!


Rebound!


Love the boxing out!


Steal, shot, rebound, score!


Steal (kind of)!


Halfway through the season a lot of girls on KK's team were out of town (4 day weekend). I think they only had 1 sub so KK played almost the whole game (I think she sat out first but played the rest of the game). They had no choice but to let her bring the ball down at least half the time. This was definitely a turning point for her. The other girls actually started passing to her and she was able to bring the ball down the court a lot more. KK definitely rocked it the 2nd half of the season!




Steal (and travel!)


Steal and basket

Another steal and eventually a basket
Haha! I swear she almost never makes the basket the first time! Good thing she's pretty good at rebounding her own shot and going back up!



assist

block!








Blakely had a flag football game right before one of KK's basketball games. We were running a little behind schedule. 

KK: We need to get in there quick so I can start stripping!

She had sweats on and her game was about to start.
