So we did it. We went to a girls basketball game. Highlands Ranch vs. Ridgeview. Great defense wins games.
First, some meaningless thoughts on the game. #1 for Highlands Ranch just looks like a basketball player. At 5'10" she's listed as the tallest girl on the team but she's got a nice outside shot and can bury the three. #11 for HR played aggressive and was a lot of fun to watch but she wasn't concentrating and ended up on the bench with a bunch of early fouls. HR has a sophomore that got plenty of minutes last night but you could really tell she was a sophomore. This girl must be good to get those kinds of varsity minutes but I sure could tell the difference in approach and in the way she carried herself vs. how the seniors behaved. Finally, HR has a young team with only 3 seniors. They looked pretty good. Short -- but good.
Now to the important stuff. My 4 year old now knows that girls can play ball. More importantly, my two year old now knows that girls can play ball. I'm not sure if this next sentence is true or not but the two year old seemed a bit shocked by the aggressive and fast play. I'm not sure she'd ever seen other girls run and collide the way the girls last night were running and colliding. I'm glad she saw it.
I think we will continue to alternate between girls and boys games as the season wears on. We also need to make it to Boulder to see the Buffs play.
