Kate's athletic achievements

Kate made all-stars for GBL.  She had a really good season, especially the second half.  She proved she get past any defender and get to the basket with great passing ability on the interior.  Her shot came along nicely and she was basically the best everything on the team which is a bit of a problem since that often meant she had to beat pressure but be forced to pass prior to shooting.


In soccer, she helped lead her team to the title in the first tourney of the season.  Her team tied and lost their first two games and then won the Sunday AM game to make it to the finals.  Kate scored the first goal of the morning and we ultimately won that game 2-0.  She was physical, smart, and tough.

In the finals, Kate played a solid all around game as a creative midfielder.  The other team scored late to make it 1-1 and send it to penalty kicks.  Kate (as we figured) stepped up and volunteered to kick first for her team. She made her shot (now 2 for 2 in this scenario in her career).  Her team ultimately won in PKs 2-0.  Our proudest moment was when her teammate missed a PK attempt, Kate was the one that left midfield and met the girl halfway to give her a high five and tell her good job anyway.
