She sounded very shaken up, very scared. By the time I talked to her (Thursday) night, she had calmed down quite a bit because they were off the ship at that point.

We're competing every night. We're working on our confidence, and that takes time. Our girls are working hard, but tonight we struggled hanging onto the ball.

Friday night is our date night. We really carve out time for each other.

She made some really smart plays the whole night, and made some key saves.

Our first game (in the regional Wednesday night against North Valleys) was very nerve-wracking. That was a tough game for us. But (on Friday) the girls seemed a lot more relaxed. They just came out and played well and had some fun.

You'll be able to walk away that night knowing that you have helped make a dream come true for a kid. And that's pretty cool.
