    Samantha and her teammates returned to the court after 
having a week off, and they showed no ill side effects. In fact, they looked 
pretty good playing against Sam's old teammates from last season. They held the 
lead for a majority of the game, and any time the opposing team got close or 
tied the score the Oxford Bank team managed to pull ahead once again... until 
the last few minutes of the game, that is. That is when they finally gave up the 
lead, and they were never able to get it back.  By the time the final 
buzzer had sounded, the good guys were on the short end of a 24-21 score. 
    Sam played decently today, although she wasn't able to 
score. She also had a few ill-advised passes late in the game that didn't help 
her teams cause, but she made up for them by playing good, aggressive, 
ball-hawking defense and by hustling on both ends of the court. Despite the 
loss, Sam can continue to feel good about her play on the court.
