Defeat for the Alley Oops

“It could have gone either way,” John stated, the Alley Oops biggest fan who never missed a game, regarding the consensus of their play in the Neenah Streetball Tournament.  It could have been anyones game until the very end last weekend.  It was a cold and windy start on Saturday, June 11th as the team gathered together an hour prior to the first game at 9 a.m.  The first game was a tough loss by two points making the final score 14-16.  “By the second game we were finally starting to gel as a team,” Alley Oops teammates stated, many not having touched a basketball in years.  By their next game at 4 p.m. they were ready to face the goliaths and played an aggressive battle with a show stopping finish to win the game 12-16.  No one could stop Leah and Hannah’s drive down the lane, or get past the aggressive defense of Rachel and Rachelle.  Rachelle even spent most of the time on the ground which reminded her of high school, trying to grab the ball away from others twice her size. 
By the third game at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday the team was wearing down, but ready to put up a fight.  They fought hard against a team full of height, and the opponent used it to their advantage.  The Alley Oops were ahead most of the game, until the other team pulled ahead towards the end and won 12-16.  It really could have gone either way for the Alley Oops last weekend.  Until next time..…


Nice form hannah!
