On Tuesday, October 27, we had our first basketball game.  We played Bear Lake.  Our score was 20-8.  We beat them bad.  It was awesome.  I was the statistician.  What I had to do was keep the score and keep track of how many fouls there were.  That was fun.  I could not play because I broke my collar bone.  I broke my collar bone playing football with my sister.  ~Michele

         On Tuesday October 27, 2009 I had my first basketball game. It was at home, in Onekama we were versing Bear Lake. I am number 3 in basketball. I was very nervous. My coaches are Mrs. Bromley and Mrs. Bennett. When we got there we stretched, McKayla H., Kassie, and I led the stretches because we are the captons. After that we did some lay ups. Then some free throws, I almost made them all but they bounced out. When the game started I was not in the 1st quarter. We were tied 2 to 2. Then I went in on the 2nd quarter, I am a point guard. After I played it was 4 to 8 we were losing. I don't think we scored anything in the 3rd quarter. On the 4th quarter I played again, in the quarter I scored 6 points. We won the game 20 to 8. We were so happy. I forgot to say that one girl on the other team scored a basket for us, it was funny. Then we left. I love to play basket ball. ~Lauryn

Our first basket ball game was great. It was the first time I've ever really been a part of a team. It was a lot of fun and I had a blast. I'm sure none of us can wait till Thursday for our next game against Bear lake again. Man do I love being on the court, I love the feel of adrenaline. My coaches are the best. My team is great too! Everyone on my team is a great ball player. I really liked my first game too, at first I was scared but then the fear burned off. The only things I'm not good at is defence and rebounds. But I shouldn't complain I could be worse. And the feeling I got when we won the first game was unexplainable!! Now I'm not so afraid for my next game. Like I said I said I can't wait for my next game.
Sincerely,
Alexis

Tuesday October 27 2009 was our first basketball game. I was in the first courter of the game. At half time the score was 2 to 8. We had 2 and the other team had 8. A girl on the other team made a shout in our basket. Each basket is worth 2 points. I had fun out on the court. By the end of the game we had 20 and the other team had 8. If the girl on the other team did not make the basket in our hoop we would have 18. So we won the first game.  ~Kassie

The Onekama 5th grade girl's basketball team's first game was sweet. We played Bear Lake. We beat them 20 to 8. During the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd period I was a box player. I got rebounds and shot the ball. One of the Bear Lake players shot a ball in our basket. One of my favorite things that happened was when I made a shot. Another one was when Lauryn made a crazy shot that was so off but went in. Our first game was awesome. ~Kiara

On October 27, 2009 The fifth grade girls had their first basketball game. We won 8 to 20! I had lots of assists. That's when you steel the ball and the person on your team gets it and make s a basket. For the last two quarters they did not make any baskets except for when my best friend ren from preschool made us a basket for us. I had so much fun at our first basketball game. ~Kassidy
