The Polls are closing and...Kelsie's Basketball Debut

Well, the first polls on my blog have started to close. 7 people picked the Patriots to win today, 1 lonely dreamer picked San Diego. Patriots win. At the time of this writing, for some reason there is still 1 hour left to vote on the Giants/Packer game. Obviously a sentimental bunch of Giants fans read my blog as they have been picked by 6 readers to win, vs. 2 picks for the favored Packers. At this writing, the game is tied -- 20/20 in the 4th quarter. Poor Tom Coughlin (Giants' head coach) -- give him a nose warmer!!! I have never seen anyone look so COLD. Rightfully so, though, it's about 0 degrees in Green Bay. THIS JUST IN: Kelsie thought the Giants were wearing the ugly green "OUTFITS" and therefore has been rooting for the Packers --- she now takes it back -- she prefers the white "OUTFITS", therefore the Giants. (Where did I go wrong?) As I move to Kelsie playing her first bball game of the season, try not to hold this against her...she really is an athlete :)

So, she had her first game yesterday...it was a nail biter as you will see:



The coach said, "It's that one important thing...just that one important thing". Was Heather really listening? Was Kelsie listening? Hmmmm, inquiring minds want to know.....


It's all about position under the basket!



Kelsie's team started out behind early -- score was 12-2 after the first period (in this league they play 6 periods)....but they came back with a vengeance and ....

Did they...or didn't they??????

YES, They did! They must have been listening after all (we were "home" by the way).



And crowed went wild! Ok, they really did, but I didn't have my camera out until it had died down a little bit. It was a fun game...even if it did start at 8:00 AM! Yes, that's in the morning!

Hi!
Kelsie, Kelsie, how could you? I hope two weeks from now you pick and root for the right uniform. Remember NY Giants!! Congratulations on your win. You must love the game to be on the court at 8am & to have so many fans at that hour. Your coach looks familiar. Love, Grandma H.

Aunt Sheri-
I was the "lonely dreamer" who picked San Diego... everybody was boting for the others so I added some variety :)
