She Shoots, She Scores

I know you are going to kill me, but I don't have any pics to put with this blog about Emi's basketball game. I just can't remember to take pictures while I am concentrating on the game, and this one was such a nail biter!!!!!
They played St Mary's Derby, and they are 6-0. We are 0-6, so I was thinking major blow out all day, but you know, who knows@!
Emi scored the first basket of the game in the first minute. Then she made a foul, the team was playing great. Like, you could tell they were playing basketball. They were doing awesome and the score was tied at the half 10-10.
So, we get back to the game, and the score is very even. We called a timeout and the whistle blew, so Emi and her teammates were back on the court and in position, and they gave the Bobcats a warning, they didn't leave their huddle, they gave them a second warning, they were still ignoring the refs, so they said, throw the ball in, and Allison, passed it off to Emily, who took off, and made a lay up, her 2nd basket of the game. She did get another foul under her belt too, during her time on the court. And, the thing about Emi is , when she does foul, they are very blatant. Like, you know you've been fouled, if it was called on 23 Gold.
It came down to the last minute, and we were winning, 20-16. Lisa Longstaff and I were over confident, and St Mary's stole the ball and made a basket. Then, one of our girls committed a foul, on a girl that Emi used to dance with, she made one basket, then, with like seconds left, they stole our pass in, and scored again, making them ahead by one, with 1 second on the clock.
20-21.
They played great though! THey play again on Saturday, I hope they play like they did today, because it was awesome, and I just know that they will win one. This just wasn't their day.
