We Lost... Again

The postgame handshake is about all that's worth showing.
The old saying about the third time being a charm didn't hold true in tonight's basketball game for Emily and Dad's team.

Faced with playing the same team (St. Peter & Paul) that had handed the Spartans' their only two losses of the season, Dad got the girls fired up to win this time. But the game plan was signficantly changed when Laura, the point guard, picked up three quick fouls in the first quarter. We'll have to do some checking, but we don't think she had three fouls total all year.

Anyway, a 4-2 deficit at the end of the first quarter became 8-2 at halftime. Then, Laura picked up her fourth foul and it was really over. You can see the final score above.

So Emily and Dad's team finishes the season 15-3 overall and runners-up in the CYO league and tournament and runner-up in the Holy Ghost Tournament.
