This was the first time we hosted a "Bright Star" Exhibition Game. The idea was to get the girls who did not make the regular All-Star teams and give them a chance to play an entire game without the pressure of playing with the older, more skilled, players. It seemed like a good way to see what our younger, junior players had learned this year. For the twelve players who came to play, we gave them a full length, four-quarter game and sat back to watch. The girls did not let us down, treating the crowd to a good game of basketball. Both teams played well and the players proved that there is definitely a future for girl's basketball here in Brookline. In a couple years, these kids will be lighting up the scoreboard and dazzling us with the raw talents that we witnessed here today. After a long and hard fought game, the girls and parents were treated to pizza and pop downstairs in our own "LE CAFE FUGI", home of the best summer lunch program in the City of Pittsburgh. Well, this was the last basketball game of the season. All told, I watched every second and kept score of 128 games since the beginning of June. That's a lot of basketball, and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was really a pleasure getting to know all the kids and their parents, and being given the opportunity to bring a little joy and excitement to their summer. Thanks everyone and I hope to see you next year! ... Clint |
