Varsity girls jamboree last night. Four teams, each played two "games", four "games" in all, each 12 minutes. Three refs to split the work, doing 2-whistle. Two teams that I'd had in fall ball, and it was great to see them. Two other teams that are usually middle of the pack. It was just fun. I made a couple of mistakes, of course, but they weren't huge. It felt good to get my mind back into the game, and start remembering the routine.
Tonight, freshman girls. One school didn't even have a JV team year before last. They're always at the bottom of the pack. This year, they have 10 freshmen, none of whom was hopeless. They didn't play real well, but it was real basketball. It was just plain fun to see that the school is coming back a little, and trying to make things better. THe players had good sportsmanship, there were probably 50 very positive and noisy fans, the table people were cooperative and paid attention. All-in-all I really enjoyed myself, and that was a pleasant surprise!
