Playing up big time.

When the High School Varsity coach messaged to see if Hayden could fill in on a tournament team this weekend her eyes lit up…there may have been screaming and seat slapping too LOL. My 14 year old showed up and played her heart out on a 16/17 U team. Hayden kicked butt for them, scoring half their points in their first game. She took the 9 point loss the best I’ve ever seen. I enjoy watching her play fill in, she doesn’t get in her head and beat herself up nearly as much when it’s not “her team” if that makes sense.

Their second game of the day was brutal, their opponents were amazing ballers. They had some big girls too. This team will likely end up taking the tournament...can't stress how good they were. The coach of that team somehow heard Hayden was a 14 year old 8th grader and made a point to find her TWICE and tell her how good she is and that she has a bright future in high school. That made the loss sting a lot less.
