Basketball Season Over!

February 6th ended our second and final season of coaching the ICS Pyongtaek Basketball teams. This was the first year that Jess coached the girls' team. Last year she helped Russell coach the boys. With Jess being pregnant, this put a bit of strain on her and we focused more on the pregnancy than on coaching, but it was rewarding and we had a good opportunity to know these guys and gals. We're sure glad the season is over now, though, so we can relax a bit and catch up on our rest!

The boys team went 5-7 for the season and ended up 5th in the tournament after losing our first game to a team we had beaten twice in regular season play. Overall, we improved on last year's regular season play, and that was good.

The girls' team won two games in regular season and played really hard in the tournament, but fell just short of winning some important games and ended up 7th. They had a really young team of mostly first time players, and were a bit timid in important places. They improved a lot, however, and there is a lot of promise in these girls for the future. Too bad we won't be here to guide them through it! Jess really enjoyed getting to know her girls!
