This Saturday our girls basketball jv and varsity teams went to a basketball scrimmage in La Junta. We played the La Junta, Las Animas, and Mclave teams. The jv went undefeated and won all three games, while the varsity lost against La Junta and Las Animas, and won against Mclave. I think that this is a great starter for our high school team as far as knowing where we are and how far we need to get. We did fairly well this weekend and I hope that it will only get better as the season goes on. This Thursday our high school boys and girls basketball teams both have a game in Deertrail. Good Luck!

My post this week isn't directed at any skills, players, or teams, but at the Olympics. I feel that the sport of basketball should definitely be played in the Olympics. It is an extremely entertaining sport to watch and it is so easy to get really into it. I know that when our USA basketball team is playing I definitely tune in and watch. I think that the players on these teams are amazing role models for people who want to go far in basketball. They show perseverance, strength,and great sportsmanship. I love watching the USA Olympics basketball team, and I would hope other people do as well. This link has some information about the basketball program in the Olympics.

This week my school has started my favorite sport of all, basketball! I am extremely excited about this season, because I know that we can do well and go far. I think that our team not only plays well as individuals, but also as a team and that is what a team needs to be successful. We have had a successful year so far by going to state in volleyball, now lets make this a season to remember also!

I have never really been a big fan of the NBA myself because I would rather be playing the sport then watching it. However, I figured that I might do one post about it just to show you that it is a huge part of basketball today and probably always will be. I found this website, and it has a ton of information, it shows all of the highlights of the games, some information about the teams, and the game schedule for the year. I probably won't be using this website very often, however, I thought I might put it out there so that everyone else could use it.

I have heard many things about this intense game that Michael Jordan had played and was curious to see what else I could find on it. During this game Michael Jordan was facing some major flu symptoms, but managed to battle and push through and finish the whole game while scoring thirty-eight points to help his team get a victory, with a score of 90-98. I think this shows how great of an athlete he truly was, not because he scored thirty-eight points, but because he continued playing the game and helped his team get another big win. It shows that he was very unselfish and an amazing teammate to have.
