[15thRegionSlamaBamma]

I ate dinner with Bev (Haley's Mom) after the loss to LCA and we were talking about her past, present and future. She then shared a story which made us all laugh so I thought I would share it I don't think she will care.

When Haley was a young child early in her childhood it was her parents dream for her to play basketball something Haley on the other hand did not really see as a big deal. When her parents first decided to place her into little league they placed her into Mullin's little league program. The first day of try outs here each child is placed with a number on their back and all join in the middle of the floor Haley refused to join. She ran down the steps of the Mullin's gym and made like a dart for the door. Bev ran after her only to confront an angrey child. Bev then asked Haley what the problem was and she said she really did not want to play, Bev then asked Haley what she could do to get her to play. Haley's only answer was buy me a pair of rollerblades, as Bev contemplated what to do and she agreed. So all in all both were happy Haley got her rollerblades, and became one of the top players all time to play in the 15th region. Well and Bev she got to watch her young child grown into a women over the past years and watched her play in nearly every game and cheered Haley on to 2 regional championships, 2 district championships, 2 regional MVPs, 4 regional all tournament teams, 1 state all tournament team, 1 elite all player of the game, as we wait to see we can all anticipate a 1st team all state and college D-1 signee.
