Summertime..

It's that time of the year - kids flocking to the malls and beach, moms getting to sleep in (waz up with that?..), longer days, first stage smog alerts... yep summer is here.

It also marks the JAO summer league and the Tigers participated in the league after a year or two absence.  I felt it was a good experience for the girls with all the girls getting plenty of playing time.  And the girls got to play teams they haven't played in awhile.  Yes, they were "silver" level teams but it was still fun to play other teams (Mustangs, Bruins, Evergreen, San Fernando etc.).

No one benefited more from summer league play than Erica.  Wow, this may have been her coming out party.  Erica had a great summer session getting confidence in her offensive play and playing aggressively on both ends of the court.   Emiko got to play point guard which might be her best position as she gets older.  She controls the game well and her passing has improved greatly.  Lauren got to play so much I thought she was going to faint out there.. : )  And she played very well this summer too.  I think all the other girls had fun in the relaxed atmosphere of summer league.

Good job girls in summer league.  Considering the team was short girls most weeks, the team played well and hard.  Thanks to Deanne for playing the last week!  She did great especially since the opposition didn't take it easy on her and she had a nice jumper for a basket.

SBY have a summer league?.... :)
