HSPN Day 1

HSPN day 1

 The Warriors hit the road late Tuesday night on their way to Lynchburg, Virginia to participate in the HSPN basketball tournament. After a long ride, everyone got a good night sleep Tuesday night in anticipation of some great basketball on Wednesday. Thanks to a free continental breakfast, the girls were ready in plenty of time before tip off on Wednesday. The team gathered and all the adults circled around the girls and prayed protection and blessing on them.

 A fun game of spoons took up some free time before they headed over to the LaHaye Center for the first game of the day. The Warriors drew the Lighthouse Christian Eagles for round one of the pool play. At halftime, the Lady Warriors were down by nine points.

 By the middle of the fourth quarter they had pulled to within one point of the Eagles. Liz and Krista both had 3 steals. Rebecca pulled in 11 rebounds and Emily Pritt had 5.

 The girls, once again, reached down deep and overcame the deficit. Unfortunately, due to some late game fouls, the Eagles went to the charity stripe and added to their total to take the win. All the Warriors saw playing time in the first round. The final score was Warriors 28, Lighthouse 34.

 After the game, we headed over to the Three Point Shooting competition and had lunch while we awaited our turn to shoot. Shooting in the contest for the Warriors were: Liz, Sarah, Ashley, Rebecca and Charity. Liz made it on the the final round...she qualified with 9 3 points in one minute!

 The second game of the day was against the Richmond Spirit. The Warriors played with more confidence and they worked well passing the ball and protecting it.

 Rebecca and Charity both had 9 rebounds. Liz had 8 steals against the Spirit. She led the team in assists as well with 3. Once again, all the girls got playing time and it was a genuine team effort as the Warriors defeated the Spirit 51-41.

 After the game, Mary Barrows, treated the team to ice cream at Cold Stone as her senior gift! The girls all loved it! Thanks Mary! Congratulations to the Warriors on a day well played!
