We are one of the few stakes that still holds women's basketball. Last night our ward was in the Championship. Down by 5 with less than a min. to go my teammate nails a three. We are down two and decide to put a so called press on them. I get their guard to pick up her dribble in our backcourt and proceed to play tight D on her. She gets a little frustrated and starts clearing some space between us with her elbows. Well, she did her job and caught me right in the eye. It caused instant swelling. Here are my pics of Day 1 and Day 2. Oh, by the way she turned it over so our ball under our basket with 12 seconds to play. We drew up a beautiful play where we lined everyone outside the 3 point line and one of our guards would beat her man for a layup and the game. They played her tight, she was the only one hitting anything, so with one eye I spotted our other guard who cut to the basket wide open only her shot bounced off the rim and directly to our forward who put up a beautiful floater and swish! We are now up 1 with two seconds. The refs kindly give the ball to them at half court and put two seconds back on the clock. They have a player who is 6'3 probably taller, so of course they are getting the ball to her. She turns and puts up a beaut, off the board, off the rim, into our guards hands. The stake Championship is ours!!! It was fun to play again. Now the evidence of a well fought game.
Day 1 (Right after the game, i'm thinking this is funny)

Day 2 ( after a 10K, not my smartest move, not thinking this is so funny)

Carrie-
Oh my gosh! That looks like it hurts so bad. You are such a tough girl. I would have just let her on by. That is why I play more golf than basketball, no need for defense.
NICE CARRIE - you are my hero!
I can just hear you yelling, "ADRIENNE!"
That reminds me of when you beat me in the state championship. That sucked. :)
