OUR LITTLE GLOBETROTTER!



Becca is having so much fun at Winter League basketball. She sports her new uniform t-shirt, her number is 3, and holds on to her "Harlem Globetrotter" basketball. She took her warm-up shots before the two games and her warm-down shots after the game. She sports her red IU game shorts proudly! Sorry, Grandpa! (ISU!) and wanted to know when the third game would be. We told her next week.

"You ready to go, kiddo?" asked Daddy!

"NO!" Becca emphatically shouts. "I'm never leaving this gym! I love basketball and I want to keep playing!"

"But, Becca, we have to go get something to eat!"

"I'm not hungry!"

As she starts to dribble toward the basket, Daddy says, "I'll make you a hamburger and french fries."

"Awright!" and off we go, heading for the car. Daddies always know how to get their daughters moving in the right direction.

Right?
WAITING FOR THAT REBOUND!


Becca keeps up with her teammates during the second game. Somewhere between the first and second matches, Becca learned that if she goes for the rebound, she just might get the ball!

After losing their first game (who's really keeping score anyway?) Becca's team played very well during their second match . . . Becca even scored a goal! Way to go, Becca! Just not during the footage you see here. Becca was in the right spot under the far goal and one of the girls threw the inbound pass to Becca and with Daddy shouting "Shoot!" very loudly, Becca heard and tossed the round ball into the round hoop!

We're having so much fun! We only hope that Becca has fun, runs a lot! And, she makes lots of new friends. As our high school girls defend their state championship title, we are reminded that many of them started right here . . . at Winter League camp. This year, more than 90 K-1-2 grade girls came out and formed teams, not to mention the other 250 in grades 3 through 6 playing in the other two gyms at PHS.

GET READY FOR THAT REBOUND2!

Becca got the hang of waiting for that rebound shot that I had to run this one, too! Becca's team plays again next two Sundays with the final match coming March 15, the weekend Grandpa Sanders comes to town. Becca assures us she'll be playing like Colton by the time her grandfather gets to see her play . . . er, maybe.:)

BECCA'S AFTER GAME WARM-DOWNS

After playing two games, Becca refuses to leave the gym and continues taking shots at the hoop. Becca is getting really good at this, once she puts her mind to it. She's even better when she shoots with her "Harlem Globetrotter" basketball we found at Bailey's!
