No Gain/No Loss

Well a good thing about Saturday was being able to watch my girls (we'll call them quart and pint) play their last basketball games of the season. I even got to help coach pint's team because the coach was out of town. (I could mention that he was on a cruise in the Carribean but that just doesn't seem fair does it?) Well pint's team had not won a single game all season. They lost one game by 2 points, but that was as close as it got.
Well the girls have really practiced hard to get better and this week it paid off. They played hard from the beginning and kept the game close. One of our players was fouled with 20 seconds left and our team behind by 2 points. She made both free throws to tie the game. The other team had one last chance though and a shooting foul was called on pint's team with only 1 second left. I know it's not important if we win or lose but dang I was hoping the girl wouldn't make a free throw. (There is no overtime in our Little League so I thought a tie would be great for both teams.) Well to end this long story, she missed both free throws and the game ended in a tie. The girls were so excited. They didn't care that they didn't win, they just knew that they finally didn't lose. No gain and no loss, which is why I thought this was a great story to tell all of my Club Zero friends. These little second and third grade girls worked hard every week, didn't always see the results they wanted but got a big reward in the end. I know it is a sappy way to end this but have a great day on Sunday!! ALFALFA
