Allstar Weekend

This weekend was the allstar weekend and because of it none of the teams in the league had games as someone from every team is in the allstar game. Even though we didnt have a game this weekend this past week of practice was full-on. We practice 2 or 3 times a day and had one Saturday morning. We have a game coming up this coming weekend and hopefully the practice we had this past week coupled with the practice we have this coming week will pay off into a win.
Katy's team was back in aciton this week though. After a three week break for the holidays she was excited to get going again. This week they played a team that was tied for first with them - Kronberg. The game was in Kronberg which is about 45 minutes away, I guess Kronberg is the city that has the most millionares (percentage of the people that live there) from any other place in Germany (one of the girls on the team told us that).
The game was a fun game to watch. After the first quarter the game was basically tied around 15 or 17. Then in the second the other team got stuck on 19 points for about 6 minutes, they just couldnt get a basket. As you can imagine Katys team took full advantage of that and pulled ahead by about 20. The third quarter Kronberg fought back, one time going on an 11-0 run, but Katy's team picked it up and they dominated the forth. The game was over with quite a bit of time left in the forth, but with a couple mintues to go, after some of their girls had fouled out (and one got tossed after getting 2 technicals from talking back/yelling at the ref) they were left to finish the game with 4 people. It was kind of funny to see.
In the end Katy had a good game. She ended up shooting 25 free throws and made 16. She pulled down 18 boards, had 7 steals, and had 35 points. What an awesome game!!! Because they some times play on the same day that we do I dont always get to see her play. I have to say it was great to see such a good game and one they won 80-54.
They now sit tied for first with one other team. I think they play them in the next couple weeks so hopefully they will be able to win until then and get that one too.
