Week Two of the CYBA Wildcats season


Fri.-Mon., January 13-16, 2023 

Over the weekend, my Mother continued her stay in a skilled nursing home in Pasadena. Some hours were great, some were good and others were not.

On Saturday, at the Los Colinas Middle School gymnasium, Jacob's mighty Wildcats (1-0) were taking on the Orange (1-0) in an early season Camarillo Youth Basketball Association (CYBA) Grade 5 league showdown.

Mary was in the house to root on
the Wildcats and her brother Jacob

It was pouring rain all day long, so this charming, cozy and dry gym was THE place to be in Camarillo.

Thanks to sharp focus and good shooting skills, the Wildcats led 12-2 at the end of the First Quarter.

Rebound that basketball!

Defending

BE AGGRESSIVE!

At the halftime intermission it was Wildcats 16 - Orange 6.

Rebounding is definitely NOT
for the faint of heart

As the Third Quarter came to a close, the Wildcats were still leading by a comfortable margin, 23-10.

The Final Score was Wildcats (2-0) 33 - Orange (1-1) 13.

I always feel good about helping her get her start as a referee many years ago while she was still working at Cronies Sports Grill in Camarillo.

famous Super Bowl IV play off

Reading Is FUNdamental!

Using recluse spiders as a murder
weapon was BRILLIANT!

So far, the first four books of the Commissaire Adamsberg series that I've found at the Camarillo Public Library by Fred Vargas have been a joy to read.
