Tonight was the basketball awards night for the girls' team at Bethany. Normally, I do not enjoy high school awards nights. Tonight's was different, however. The girls all seemed to really be friends. They sat together during the presentations, laughed and had a lot of fun. The slide show was a nice touch and every girl was given a copy of it to take home. Bethany does not give chevrons for their lettermen jackets. Instead those on varsity earn a basketball pin. Meg received hers tonight. It will be perfect on her Wawasee jacket as she had opted out of buying a Bethany one.
The best part of the night was listening to the coaches' speeches. They were personal and filled with stories about each team member. It was obvious that they all enjoyed coaching this group of girls. Brent had nothing but praise for Meg and in the end presented her with the JV award. We couldn't have been more pleased. It was challenging to have taken two years off of basketball and then come back to it. Meg worked hard, improved and by the end of the year was a leader on the JV team. We were happy that she was recognized for it. KP also had encouraging words to say about Meg. She was glad that Meg found support and friendship on Bethany's basketball team and so were we.
