DROPPING DIMES

Cate first started playing baseketball on her middle school team last year and had a breakout season as point guard. I guess it should not have been a surprise then that she made the varsity basketball team at Greenhills as a freshman.


Leading up to the season, Cate had the same single-minded focus she applies to soccer. Indeed, many mornings when we went to the gym to work out, Cate was shooting baskets and working on her game. Her practice has paid off, and she is having a great season so far as the starting point guard for her team. 

Like in soccer, her mentality is not "shoot first." Rather, she looks for ways to help others score and is focused on finding that perfect pass. There is a term for that kind of assist. In basketball lingo, it is called a "dime" as in 10/10, and Cate has been dropping those 10 spots all season. I can't wait to get back from break and watch her take the court again. Go Hills!
