HSPN SemiFinals

HSPN day 2 - semi finals

 The Warriors took on the Richmond Spirit for the second time in Lynchburg. This time the two teams met in the semi finals. The winner would advance to the finals and get the opportunity to play in the Vines Arena.

 The game was physical and the refs let the girls play. Our girls had to wear pennies as they were the home team and the other team hadn't brought their white tops and the Warriors only have one uniform. It got interesting as fouls were called because the refs had to ask our girls to lift their pennies so they could report the foul to the scorers table. Sarah led the team in assists with 3. Rebecca had 12 rebounds for the night. On one of her shot attempts she got hit and went down hard. She was face down on the floor for what seemed like an eternity.

 While she was down and the coaches were checking on her...our girls gathered around and began praying. What a testimony to their hearts and their focus.

 We ended the game with the final score Spirit 43 and the Warriors 34. The girls won't be playing in the Arena this year. Even though they lost on the hardwood, they won in so many other ways. Their character shone throughout the night. They fought through fevers, bruises, bumps, comments and fears and they reflected Christ through it all.
