Young Women basketball

Our young women combine with the young women of the other Lake Point ward for basketball, creating a whole new identity -- Big Lake (formed from Big Canyon and Lake Point). I think the other wards in our stake aren't quite sure who we are exactly when we tell them we are Big Lake. We're just a mystery team, an enigma.

Our little team made it to region this year and boy were they excited (they did last year too). The lady who coaches both wards was going to be out of town and our sports specialist wasn't comfortable enough coaching. So I became the coach for a day.

That was an experience I've never had and found it quite enjoyable. But I had a dilemma. I did not realize region play could take all day and had scheduled an outing with my sisters for the evening. I really wanted them to win, but I didn't want them to win all three games. Maybe just one or two.

They played their hearts out, but without any official practices, there were just too many things that could have been improved on.

They all took heart in that they performed better than last year. Losing 32 to 17 was much better than losing 40 to 5.

Kiersten has taken it upon herself to set up practices in our backyard every Thursday at 7pm for the next year in hopes that they might win region next year.
