I know I’m stepping back in time a couple months with this post, but I realized I never posted one of my favorite photos from this winter sports season. This particular photo is from a basketball game at Milan.

Most people were focused on the game, but as her attire shows, this particular little girl — the younger sister of a Milan basketball player — was there for the cheerleaders. At every timeout she would find her way onto the court, dancing and enthusiastically waving her pompoms. But each time she noticed the Milan varsity cheerleaders making their way onto the court, she would stop dancing to watch the cheerleaders’ routines.

Last week, Chelsea hockey lost in overtime in its first of two meetings with its other not-so-beloved rival, Jackson Lumen Christi.

See how Anthony’s right arm is in the process of wrapping around the LC player’s head? If you’re guessing that didn’t end well, the next photo will show you just how right you are.
