Basketball News

I’m going to tell you about girl’s basketball. But first I’ll tell you about the clothes we should ware. We should ware shorts, running shoes and a T-shirt. The real thing is to stay worm. Now about practice. Our first practice was on Monday. We had to do lay-ups.

It was hard because the balls were flat. Another thing is we did this thing ware you throw the ball against the backboard and jump up and grab it. I did what we were spost to do and jammed my finger it didn’t hurt. The other girls did well. It is a bunch of hard work to try and keep up with the ball. We get our uniforms on Friday. We need to ware a white T-shirt under it. Our first game is on Friday at Bear Lake. I’m a little worried or you could say nervous. I hope we win even throw it’s about fun. That’s my writing about basketball.

At basketball practice we have to run up the hill two times. Then we stretch and the caption are in the middle. After we stretch we dribble the ball. Are first game is Saturday. We play bear Lake, away. Bear Lake three times. At practice we do lay-ups. Then we shoal and block the ball. Mrs. Bennett showed us what double dribble and traveling is. When she is done telling us what it means. Then we practice garbing the ball. It was fun at practice.

This year I’m going to play basketball. Our first practice was on Monday. Every practice right when we get outside we have to run two times around the whole Onekama playground. We have a very fun time running.

Our coach is Mrs. Bennett and she told us that the fifth graders get to play more than the fourth graders because we didn’t get to play last year. We didn’t have enough 5th graders so we have 4th graders on our team. Some of the fourth graders are Maeve, Taylor, and Yumi. We do exiting drills at our practice. I think Mrs. Bennett will be the best coach ever! It’s going to be the best year ever!

I play in basketball. Mrs. Bennett is our coach. My teammates and I practice making hoops. We have to work together to win the game. Our first game is this Saturday. Before each game we do our stretches. If we win the game I will feel vary good. We ware jerseys to the game. Our jerseys are different than the other teams. Deffence is what we need to work on before the game. We have practice tomorrow. In practice we do lay-ups, laps, and defense. We practice at least 2-3 times a week. Practice is fun. I like basketball a lot. I’m hoping I can be in basketball next year. September 25, 2002

Waiting for the bus to take them to Bear Lake, the girls smile into the early morning light

The Sixth grade team shared the bus.
