Basketball season has begun....

I say that like basketball season was ever actuall over....lol. Basketball season is (officially) here and the Lady Dolphins are in action, having finished their first two exhibition games. The first game was last Saturday against Pierce CC. They showed up with 15 girls, we had 8. We got off to a slow start, but managed to pull ahead by 14 at halftime. The second half was a little challenging mentally, they came out and let Pierce close the gap to one, but never giving up the lead. They pulled through and won by 15.

The second exhibition game was this past weekend in Bellingham, the Lady Dolphins played against the Northwest Indian College and it wasn't even close. Against Pierce, they didn't run their full court press because they are going to play them again in a few weeks. When they put their press in against NWIC....dang are they tough. The Native girls were VERY physical pushing and shoving, but they couldn't keep up with the speed of the Dolphins. They won by 45 points, 86-41. Needless to say the coaches were pretty happy! Last year in the 5 wins combined for Shoreline, they won by 54 points. In their 2 games this year they have won by 60. Let's just say this team is a little more fun to watch. ;) Wow...that was a lot of math for me...I'm done now. :)
