Wrong-Way Parker strikes again

So if you haven't heard about this or just need to laugh again watch this...

This happened back in August to a unlucky Kent State player who is now sadly known as "Wrong-Way" Parker. For those of you who don't know football...he ran the wrong way. Not only did he run the wrong way, but the opposing team tried to tackle him when he was about to score for them. One of those sports moments when you remember that ish happens, these crazy kids are still human.

WELL, why did I tell you this almost 4 months later??

Because "Wrong-way" Parker struck at American Fork High School.

My little sophomore team..bless their hearts..were playing Snow Canyon. Let me set the scene for you:

Snow Canyon inbounds the ball under OUR basket. I had my team in a press so there were 2-3 of my players up there as well. A sweet-spirit from Snow Canyon catches the inbounds and proceeds to shoot at our basket..not once...not twice...but THREE times!! (yes, she missed all three layups)

Not only are they shooting at our basket but my girls are trying to box them out and get the rebound! Oh bless.

So here I am standing halfway on the court yelling, "LET THEM SHOOT!!!" When the nightmare strikes...

one of my players gets the rebound and starts heading the other direction thinking she was on a fast break. 

I'm now panicking..please, don't let us score for them.

Thankfully she decided to shoot a half-court shot as the clock hit 3:38 to go in the quarter...what in the?? ya... and it went out of bounds as the crowd is roaring with laughter and I am in complete shock. It literally took me a good five minutes to snap back to reality..did that really just happen? Speechless.

Now this is not the first time someone has run towards the wrong endzone, shot at the wrong basket, etc. and it definitely won't be the last. Don't tell my team this but I may or may not have done that as a youngin'.

I am seriously loving basketball right now! Those girls make me laugh every day and come wanting to learn and play hard and nothing makes me happier. I love teaching the game, I love coaching. I'm sure I'll have more funny basketball posts because well, there isn't a day that someone doesn't make me laugh.

And little do they know just how much that means to me. When I'm having a bad day it's so nice to forget about life and step onto the court with these girls reminding me to not take life so seriously. Love it, love them, I'm blessed.

Well that was a nice break from studying for finals now wasn't it?
