Saturday, January 9th, Abby's basketball team had a day-long tournament at the Northwoods school in Minong, WI. Abby was fortunate to have both sets of grandparents come to watch her games! Grandma Pat, Grandma Debbie, Grandpa Denny, and Grandpa Ken all braved the freezing temperatures to come cheer on the Barron fifth grade girls--thanks, grandmas and grandpas!

Grandma Pat manned the camera for me throughout the day and captured the following pictures for your enjoyment...
Abby beating her defender down the court!

Number 25 is all about the defense!

The cutest point guard on the floor!

Our team played hard, but we ended up losing our first three games--by a total combined score of SEVEN POINTS! Yep, the games were very close, and our third game even went into OVERTIME! Unfortunately, we came out on the losing end of the scoreboard when the buzzer sounded.

Our fourth, and final, game of the day, however, ended on a much better note. We won by quite a solid margin, and the girls had a fun time playing in that game. Always good to end on a positive note!

Here is a pic of our fam on the bench, as Jamie and I coach Abby's team...

Jamie does a good job of trying to get the girls motiviated and telling them where they should be on the floor!

In the huddle...

Jamie and our other coach, Dean, both trying to get their point across to the girls!

Sometimes people may wonder where my twisted sense of humor comes from. Wonder no more. Here is a picture my mother took and demanded it show up on the blog...
She says it was a picture of the Barron Bear towel (that was a gift from Coach Dean to the girls)--I say she was just taking a picture of my butt!

Good job to our girls on their good showing at our third tournament of the season. Our next tournament is in 2 weeks in Poplar, WI.

Nice butt!
Cool pictures, Abz!! You look great out there. Listen to your coaches...they might know a thing or two about basketball. :-)
Glad to see the pics and that you included all of them :).
Abz is fun to watch as she moves fast on the court and doesn't hesitate to go for the ball! Notice she wears knee pads and they come in handy many times during a game.
