Last weekend of the regular season

This weekend we had the last weekend of the regular season. Katy's team played their last game of the regular season on Saturday night. The men's team played Saturday night and then had their last game of the regular season on Sunday afternoon.

Saturday night the girls played at Kilsyth against Dandenong. They beat Dandenong about 1.5 months ago by 20 or so. Dandenong however did not have all of their players. This time they did. They had one girl about 6'5" and three girls over 6'2", who are all good players. Katy's team played pretty hard but they only shot 18% in the first half. Because if it they got themselves into a little bit of a hole and just couldn't dig themselves out of it. Again I got to see the first half and Katy played quite well. She again played hard and had her hand on a lot of balls. She got some good playing time n this game as well. So it was fun to get to see her play. In the end they ended up losing by just over 20 points, so I was glad I got to see some of it as it turns out it was their last game.
For the girls to have made finals they either needed to win or have one of two other teams win. Because both teams they needed to win lost, Katy's team didn't make it. Its pretty sad but I think she is looking forward to being able to come to the men's game this weekend (which she would have had to miss if they would have had a game).

For the men's team, we won both of our games this weekend. For both of the games we even had a couple guys who were out because of injuries, resting up for finals. So hopefully when they get back this weekend we will do even better. Saturday's game against the Northwest Tasmania Thunder was a battle for the full 48 and Sunday's game against the Ballarat Miners was a tough one as well. Sundays game was an emotional one for the other team as they had two guys from their team playing their last game at their home court. If they would have beaten us we would have played them the first round of the playoffs this Saturday. Since we beat them though we knocked them out and now play Bendigo.
We have beaten Bendigo twice so far this year so hopefully we will be able to add a third win, and get our first playoff game (a home game for us).
