Morgan’s Basketball Season (2013-2014)

Mason wasn’t the only O’Hara with a winning basketball season this year!

Morgan decided she wanted to be like big brother and play basketball as well this year. Morgan’s team is more focused on the basics of basketball. They’ve been practicing twice a week, working on things like dribbling and passing. Most of the girls on Morgan’s team can’t hit the backboard from the free throw line, which (unsurprisingly) has led to some pretty low scoring games.

Morgan’s team went 2-6 this season, which somehow qualified them for the state tournament. Everyone agreed that taking our girls to the state tournament this year would be like leading lambs to the slaughter so we celebrated the season with a round of medals and agreed to reconvene next year.

Morgan’s Coach was one of the most patient people I’ve ever met. The girls practiced twice a week and despite the fact that typically half the team members (or less) showed up to practice, Coach showed up for every one and worked with the girls regardless of the skill level they joined with. Just like Mason’s coaches, we really appreciate people donating their time to work with kids. Morgan’s skills improved exponentially throughout the year. Plus, at the beginning of the year she was crying 4 or 5 times per practice and near the end of the year it was down to 0 to 1 times.

Thanks to all the girls who showed up and played their hardest. It remains to be seen whether or not Morgan will play again next year.
