What a crazy, fun, exciting Saturday!
Barker and Remy had OMBA basketball finals Saturday. Remy's team competing in the Bronze game and Barkers team competing in the Gold Medal game.
Kalia was our Chauffeur for the day- getting some city driving under her belt- and she did fantastic on the way in. With one tiny mistake, that was easily chatted about. Like how when we lane change, we don't want to hit the car behind us with back panel of the van, so we need to shoulder check and make sure we are PAST the car we are passing, before changing lanes.
Remy was first in her game for 10:15am. Family support was Mom, Kalia, Annaliesse, Barker (and Oliver), Grandma and Grandpa and Grandma Moxley. Daddy was working on the house as per usual :)
The game was against a very large team in subs and size, they jumped into the lead pretty quick. Within no time we were 12 points down and half time was coming up real quick. Then our girls decided enough was enough, Coach Justin readjusted, changing up the lines and we came back to tie it up. Second half was super intense with us dropping behind and coming back every turn over.
Nearing the end- Remy had 2 sweet steals, 7 layups- 2 of which went in, and a sweet basket over the tall girl guarding her from 4 feet out. That shot tied it up. Annabell bumped us up by 2- then Paisley held off our 2 point lead with 4 baskets in a row. The girls won BRONZE by 2 points and they were soooo excited.
U11 is so fun to watch- they are thrilled to win. The jumping and screaming was so darling- we were so happy for them.
They had a good season- and lucky for them we have at least one tall girl on our "little" team.
We had a few hours between games- so we headed to South Centre Mall for lunch and shopping for the big girls (& Grandma who is looking amazing).
Annaliesse and the boys ran around the mall with a tiny basketball she bought- generally making a nuisance of themselves- none of which I saw until I saw Annaliesses' pictures on Insta. So if you were there Saturday around noon- sorry.
Kalia bought 3 hoodies- cause thats what she likes to spend her money on... she now has 41 hoodies in case you were wondering.
Off to Barkers game at 2;15 at Prolific.
This game was another nail biter. We were up for most of the game, even with missing our best player. Barker had a few good plays and Oliver let him borrow his sweet headband. He made 5 of his 6 foul shots, plus a couple baskets, all in all he had a great time..... Until the very end. We lost by 3 in the last few minutes- it was really to bad for the boys. Barker had been very hyper all day, so excited leading up to the game- he took the loss hard. Tears showed up for a few of the boys, including Barker.
It was a good game- someone has to loose-today it was us.
We head to Provincials next weekend and the big girls head to ZONES!
Wish us LUCK!
