We here at Overtime — me, that is — are taking a much-needed long weekend as we make the transition from fall sports to basketball season. Several of you have been writing asking for me to start blogging on the basketball season, which began for girls last night and opens for the boys next Wednesday. Starting next week you will get a steady diet for the next three months.
I’ll leave you with this scene during the Trinity High School girls team’s win over St. Joseph last night: In the second half, after a battle for a loose ball on the floor, the officials were calling for a towel to dry the court. The Crusaders’ Clare O’Leary decided to avoid a delay by balancing herself and using her rear end to dry up the wet spot. Anyone who knows Clare, one of the most fun-loving kids around, won’t be surprised by this.
Have a good weekend and we’ll see you next week.
