On Sunday, the Castle Girls 11U team played a league game against New Heights in the Zero Gravity Winter League. Castle jumped out to an early lead and it was over twenty points at halftime. In the second half, and with the margin expanding, New Heights substituted a younger player into the game to allow her to gain some experience. Shortly, after entry, her sneakers became untied and she remained at Center Court attempting to tie her sneakers. Realizing that the player was unable to make it happen, Castle’s ZOE CARTER stepped up during a foul shot sequence, knelt down and tied the New Heights player’s right sneaker and then her left. Players and parents watched in amazement and admiration of Zoe and her big heart. When she was done, Zoe received a standing ovation from everyone in the gym.
Zoe is a wonderful example of the Castle student athlete and the type of sportsmanship that we hope is displayed in all our games. Thank you Zoe!!!
