Midway through the 2nd quarter, Kaela put on her new goggles and checked into the 6th grade game.
And in her first action since injuring herself more than a month ago, Kaela scored 14 of her team's 18 points as the 6th graders clinched the second seed with a 18-14 victory.
The game was sloppy before, and even after Kaela checked into the game, it remained that way.
Neither team had a high priority of taking care of the ball as the two squads traded turnovers for the duration of the game.
The 6th grade built a cushion heading into the 4th quarter, but the other team stormed back and took a 13-12 lead for the better part of the final six minutes.
With under two minutes left, Kaela hit an And-1 and the 6th grade never looked back.
Michaela hit a jump shot in the second half, and was 2-for-4 from the free throw line.
Even with the win, their turnovers from top to bottom cannot continue if this team is serious about a repeat. There were countless lob passes, balls thrown at feet and dribbling into defenders.
It also didn't help that the girls' had trouble with so many shots right by the basket.
But the girls now begin their third part of the season, in what looks like a playoffs with Kaela.
In last year's championship game, Kaela was held scoreless while others on the team paved the way to the title.
That will be the key if the 6th grade wants to capture the gold once more.
