Avery had basketball playoffs the same weekend of J.T.’s state wrestling tournament (post on that later)
Avery is so tough. Not just physically but mentally and emotionally. She had a really good season this year but struggled a bit on offense. She has always been AMAZING at defense.
I just have to say, because I am her mom, and not because I am her mom, that she TORE IT UP at her play off games!! Seriously! She had her best games of the entire season. She rebounded, shot, defended and was the highest scorer on the team. She stepped out and took her spot and shined. I couldn’t be more proud of her.
We all could see it in her…but she hates for anyone to say anything to her. She has always been a “don’t tell me what to do child”. Her looks are mean as hell but her heart is soft and tender. She’s beautiful and fierce, rude and sweet, sassy and so incredibly funny. Avery is everything I want to be and everything I want my girls to be. I love her so much and I am so proud of her.
Words can’t describe how amazing she played. She saved the game. She, as in Avery Richardson, won that game for St. Johns high school!!!
I am not just proud of her basketball skills. I am so proud of her strength, hard-work and determination she put in.
We hated having both kids playing/wrestling at the same time. It’s hard. J.T. Is a senior and so it was hard to decide what to do. But I couldn’t not go watch my Ave play. (Even though she could probably care less if I am there) So I flew 1.5 hours over to watch her mad skills and flew right back and didn’t miss JT wrestle that day. I am so glad I went. She is amazing and I can’t wait to watch her next year!! Kick some a$$ next year Avery! And never forget that you are amazing and perfect just the way you are. Keep shining that light Avery…🤍
