It's pretty exciting to see your 14-year old niece swish one from the left corner of her JV basketball game against a talented team like Bloomington Central Catholic. Her catch-and-shoot release time was quicker than a hot potato. Then to see her power dribble left-handed down the sideline, and later take an aggressive dribble drive around a pick and pop from the free throw line. This is not the woman I saw a couple years ago!
Dena and I were glad that she didn't run into the walking mountain that was #45 on Central.
She climbed into the stands behind us after the game and apologized for being a little gamey. "Hey, it's the smell of hard work" I thought, though I also thought "But no one works as hard as the smell I'm detecting..." Later Dena pointed out that it was probably the gym bag, which I hadn't noticed. But I think we have an idea for her next birthday present...

Ah yes. Try being the one cooped up in the car with her, or rather the bag on the drive home.....
