The 3rd/4th grade make a living playing close games, and are literally inches away from breaking through for that first win. It wasn't going to get any closer than it did today.
Tied 6-6 in overtime and 12 seconds remaining, Fiona stole the ball and made a beautiful pass to Cynthia, who was standing wide open, alone under the basket. The shot went up and just rolled right off the rim.
Oh, the agony.
That forced a sudden death overtime, where the girls surrendered a basket a little over a minute into the OT, and they lost for the second straight day by 2 points -- this time 8-6.
The team moved the ball pretty well on offense and limited their turnovers. They got their fair amount of shots, but the bounces just didn't go their way.
They are on the brink of something special, if not the last two games, but for the future. For their first year, they have come a long way and are a basket and a defensive stop from winning the games.

It's win or go home for this team in teal. Can they prolong the series or will this be another year of heartbreak?
And most importantly, will I be clean shaven come Sunday?
