"She got no game she got no game..." one of the Tigresses trash talks Sam, well, moderate trash talk, and easily disproven as the She-Wolves play their first game against Tigresses

Sam keeps her cool, confident in this venue - here, the track field, the sparring ground. They are comfortable places with clear rules, where her natural gifts give her ease.

Indeed, like Clock work, Lupe breaks free from her guard, allowing Sam a chance to pass if she doesn't want to try the long shot herself. Her opponent will have a hard time blocking the towering giantess

But nobody expects Lupe! A fake and a pass!

And suddenly Lupe has the ball and is GONE ... "Stop her... " "Who was guarding her?" "ACK!"

And just like that, the She Wolves score

Fist-bump!

Fist bump ... as the Tigresses try to get back into the game, only to be shut down by May stealing the ball. She's been practicing

"You got this May!" It's a good game, the trio is together again!

May nods , another girl leaps into her face, and May roars "Fear my pasty white moves!" this causes the Tigress on her to blink

"Psyche" May passes the ball to Sam

Laughter breaks out

A snag, and she's off down the court - those long legs devouring ground. She might not be "fast" per se... but tall makes up for a lot.

One girl tries a foul on her while the ref is looking from another angle. Only to... really fail... Sam has no armor, she is not make of stone skin or what not... but she's taken training blows that make that feel like a feather tickle

GLOWER.

And she shoots. The best revenge is a point.

And revenge is had!

"WOOOT , GO SAM!" Lupe yells

"Nice pass, May" One coach says "And Sam, good shot.. keep it going"

May lopes next to Sam "Did she foul you?"

Grunt. ("She tried")

May blinks "Was that a yes?"

"It was a yes, keep moving" Lupe says a grin "I want to teach little Miss wanta to foul that if she won't play the rules. She doesn't get the ball.. ever. "

And if they follow Lupe's lead, they make sure THAT Player has a game where no ball gets near her

A grin of quiet satisfaction as the cheater is Denied.

And the She Wolves also win, of course.

The coaches of the two teams talk after that, it would appear there's some admission they missed something
