Alex and High School Basketball

So, in November Alex decided that she was going to try out for high school basketball. . . .. She was finished with soccer and thought that it would be something that would keep her in shape on the off season. She didn't have high hopes of making the team, but we were proud of her for trying.... Well, the week of tryouts came to an end and she came home announcing that she had made the team!
She has loved it, but it has been a challenge for her. This isn't a sport that comes naturally to her, and she has had to work hard... but she has and I think that she is enjoying it more and more. She has had quite a bit of playing time and it has been fun to go and watch her games.
She has worked really hard this year at keeping straight A's while doing sports, which can't be an easy task. . . . It makes for long days and sometimes long nights, but she is doing it with style. She's an incredible and I am so proud of the amazing person that she is!
