Alaina's team had a nice win Tuesday night against Kapaun Mount Carmel, one of the Catholic schools in town. Northwest won 64-41 over Kapaun, which was ranked ninth in our poll. Alaina had 13 points and nine rebounds in limited minutes because of foul trouble. She made two big baskets in a row in the third quarter after Kapaun cut the lead to seven. The euphoria ends Friday when she has to play the No. 2 team in the state, which beat them 68-34 earlier this season. Still, Northwest will have its first winning record since the 1999-2000 season. Just two games to play followed by the state playoffs. A photographer at the game gave me a link to his web site, which includes a lot nice shots of Alaina. She tends to make a lot of funny faces when she plays. I think she gets that from her Aunt Peggy.

I had many embarrassing sports face photos published in our local paper, the best is when I made the other girl cry and it's captured on film. The worst is when I'm on a break-away layup looking at the basket so all you see are the whites of my eyes...holy possessed.
That right hand looks like it's flying off to the right on those free throws. I want to see those fingernails pointing straight down on the follow through.
