Last year, the President — who was a baller himself in high school — served as the team’s assistant coach for at least one season.

In an interview with the Washington Post, the Commander-in-Chief said watching his daughter play has brought him more joy than ever. “I bleed when those girls play,” he said. “I can’t take too much credit for it. What you see is them progressively improving, coming together as a team, running plays, things kicking in that you practice. It’s a great, great joy to watch.”

According to reports, President Obama returned to the White House after the game.
