Coach Fishman, Coach Gray, Coach Pirtle and all the other coaches and LW players THANK YOU!!! Thank you for moving me up with the older grades. My dad told me to even worked extra hard every day to prove that they made the right decision in letting me play with the older girls.

I was so excited because it was Coach Carlton Gray’s birthday so me and my mom and dad got him a cake and embarrassed him by having EVERYBODY in camp signing to him… and Coach Fishman even rapped for us and Rylee was soooo embarrassed… IT WAS SO FUNNY!

Rylee Fishman was my team captain and I was so excited, she is amazing and I love her! The final day of camp my parents didn’t want me to play because I was sick with a high fever. I begged them to at least take me to camp to see the skills challenge games and rout my team to win as “5 on 5” champs. Well we got there and I told Rylee about not being allowed to play and she talked mom and dad into just letting me do a couple drill challenges. I ended up winning the layup contest with against all the girls and they were all 1 to 3 years older than me. I didn’t miss a single layout, one right-handed then touch the free-throw line, then left-handed. I made 8 in like 30 seconds… and I was really sick… Thank you Rylee for making me do it! I was then allowed to play in the camp championship game and guess what WE WON!!! I won 2 nice trophies and I was sick!

After camp was over I had another championship games in the Deveroes Basketball League in just 2 hours. I went and tried to eat but wasn’t very hungry still and when back to the gym. I ended up playing in the game and did pretty good and we WON… That was my third trophy in about 3 hours. I learned it pays to never give up!
