Swish For The Win

Drawing things up during a timeout. Not everyone is listening.
The smallest player on the court hit the biggest shot of the night.

That would be the lead on my story if I had to write one about tonight's basketball game. The expected mega showdown with St. Philip Neri was as good as advertised. St. Mary's of Bellevue got out of the gate fast – just like I wanted – and was ahead 8-0 at one point. But the Spartans went two quarters without a field goal and trailed 13-8 and then 23-19 heading into the final minutes.

Free throw shooting kept it close (thanks, Laura!) before Natalie took a pass from Laura and launched a shot from just inside the three-point line on the left wing that swished through with less than 40 seconds to go. Final score: 25-23.

Bridget took some nice photos, too.

I love this shot. Look at the intensity on Emily's face (in blue T-shirt).

Laura didn't make a basket, but she hit a ton of free throws.
