Kelsey and Keegan both really got into basketball this year!
Kelsey, who joined in mid-season last year, and Keegan, who had never played before, both learned so much, had so much fun, and made genuine contributions to their teams.
They were happy hanging out at the gym as long as possible, playing their games, running the score boards, keeping stats, and shooting with their friends between games.
All of the players were introduced at an end of the season ceremony.

An amusing story about Caitlyn...
Keegan and Kelsey loved keeping the stats and running the scoreboard. Caitlyn found it stressful and only went to help out because i asked her to if Kelsey or Keegan was alone at the table.
This happened enough, however, that I guess she got a reputation for liking to run the boards. So the program director started requesting she run the scoreboards whenever they needed someone.
Being the nice girl that she is, she wanted to help, even though she was privately horrified.
So, during the last few weeks of games and tournaments, when Caitlyn wasn't at ballet, you could find her serving as an official score/stat keeper. A definite stretch for her :).
Both Kelsey and Keegan were strong defenders, breaking up passes, stealing the ball, and occosionally blocking shots.

A great season for both of my sweet girls.
We're already looking forward to next year!
