Great Weekend!

In spite of a tough loss in the Storm's first Super League game it was a very fun and successful weekend.

Sunday the Storm faced St Anthony for the second time this season, this time at home. The second unit played much of the game and did a very nice job on both the offensive and defensive ends. The starters also got their share of minutes and picked up right where their teammates left off. All Storm players contributing usually leads to a convincing victory and this Sunday afternoon was no different.
After the game several of the girls hung out to watch Taylah Hudson and Mikaela Hernandez beat up on St Aiden's.

Monday evening the Storm headed out to Huntington Station to face St Elizabeth at Stimson Middle School. This is a team we hadn't seen before and the girls weren't quite sure what to expect. What they got was a team that had very little experience but made up for it in heart and determination evidenced by how hard they played until the very end. Amara started at point guard and had a "career" game, crossovers, driving layups, rebounding, you name it. Unfortunately it did get a bit rough (unintentionally) and several of our players got banged up. Speedy bruised her heel on what was an absolutely spectacular driving layup.  Hope that's all it is. She better be a fast healer because the Storm will need her defensive toughness and great attitude as the season goes on.
