OH WHAT A NIGHT!!! Saturday night was senior night for the Lady Dolphins basketball team... This is the one night a year when my poor little benchwarmer gets to play!!! Usually this night takes place at the last home game of the year. But since they are playing their arch rivals during that last game, the coach decided that it would be less stressing to have this on a non league night. Senior night is where all the benchwarmers who are seniors and this will be there last year on the basketball team are honored. This means that these sweet girls get to walk to the center court with their parents and have some nice things said about them, then some lovely pictures taken (yes pictures will follow and be updated when we receive them). It is really nice and there are tears and flowers and then the game...This gets them all pumped up and excited to play especially since some of them haven't seen court time since last season. So Smirk actually applied a little eye make up and made her hair look all pretty and was escorted out to center court by her Mummy and Daddy. She was sooo excited. As the announcer said all of her interests and hobbies and the pictures were done, she was ambushed by her friends in the crowd who adorned her with flower lei's and hugs.
Then the game started. Smirk didn't start but she did play... She scored an almost three pointer (her foot slipped behind the line at the last minute so it was only a two) but SHE MADE IT IN!! That was all I cared about. One of the girls on the opposing team was a little rough, she was a bulldog and was just a bit on the abusive side. At one point in play she hit Smirk so hard it took a second and Smirk got this strange look on her face, that said "HEY, SHE JUST PUNCHED ME" and then it was on... Smirk is an aggressive little player and does not take anything from anyone. She ran down the court stole the ball, passed it and assisted with another basket. Then she brought the ball in from sidelines, called the play the coach had instructed, passed the ball, the swoosh ran up the middle of the court and basically caught up with the ball and helped save her own pass from being stolen. The coach remarked after the game how he had never seen her move that fast before. To which my little smartass replied, maybe if you would put me in more, you would see it...
All in all we were extremely proud of our little senior and cant wait for the pictures to share. Next up, graduation, we hope!!
