Taylor- School Basketball

Like I said in a previous post, we are eating, sleeping, and breathing basketball.  Taylor plays for 2.5 teams (her normal travel team is "off" for the winter but still holds random practices), and she literally practices or plays 7 days a week- sometimes twice a day!  It's insanity, but thankfully Taylor loves it and wants to do it all.

The main team she plays for is her middle school team.  This was one where they had about 55 girls try out, and 7th/8th graders could make the A team, while 6th/7th graders could make the B team.  It's not super common for many 6th graders to make the B team, but Taylor made it!  She plays games typically twice a week at middle schools all around our county.  

Right now, we're about halfway through the season.  She has loved being a part of this team.  She's made so many new friends!  I'll have to brag a bit on Taylor.  She is rocking it out!  She starts, she has been the leading scorer for most, if not all, games.  She has stepped up and not backed down when under pressure.  She has hit some shots in close games that have sealed the games, which is awesome for her.  She has definitely grown in this area!

Here are some pics and videos of her season so far!

This was from a video... Taylor hit so many shots that game and they had girls triple teaming her at the end- haha!

Taylor's friend, Ella, came to cheer her on.

They have big sisters (on the A team) who get them goodies throughout the season.  This was a sign Taylor's made for her!

Three out of the 6 middle school teams are really not good, unfortunately.  For those games, the coach lets the non-starters play most of the games.  This is how Taylor felt about that! ;)

The girls have gotten to do a lot of fun hang outs.  Usually parents aren't at them, but I was there for dinner one night!

Here are some videos:
