Basketball Champs!

This weekend, Taylor had a border league basketball tournament in Richfield. (Greg helps coach, in case you didn't know). We played Friday night against Bryce Valley and squeaked a win by. Saturday at noon, we played Delta and lost by 6 or 7 points. We were pretty discouraged, but thought maybe they could come back from the losers bracket and make it to the championship. In order to win, they would have to beat the final team twice due to the double elimination. We were very impressed by how good the teams at this tournament were. They were tough! Anyway, we played Emery and beat them in a very close game, then Beaver by 10 or so points. We then had to play Delta again and beat them by about 3 points. That meant we were going to the championship game to play Richfield (undefeated in the tournament). We played them at 8 p.m. and beat them in the first game by 2 or 3 points and then would have to beat them again in order to win the championship. Well, guess what? We did it! It came down to a tie with less than a minute to go, we stole the ball and made a layup to win the game! It was soooo exciting. We were screaming and crying with joy! It was made sweeter by the fact that the officials were from Richfield and we were playing Richfield, in Richfield. We overcame the odds and conquered! We were so proud of all the girls. Everyone on the team contributed! Taylor played awesome and made all her foul shots and made some other great shots. Her defensive play was amazing as well.
