At her basketball game Wednesday, Abigail went on a tear, scoring seven baskets. Since her team won 32-10, she accounted for nearly half her team’s points. She wasn’t sure how many shots she took but we estimated she shot 60-70% from the field. She even got her name in the paper for the top scorer city-wide in her eighth-grade girls silver category.
