Basketball

The boys all played Basketball this year.  Joshua played with the Middle School, Thomas played on the Legends with all his baseball buddies, and Charles played with the YMCA.  It was his first time.  Although basketball is not my favorite sport by far, everyone had a fun season!! 

Joshua made the "C" team at school, and was a starter. He really enjoyed playing and was pretty bummed when the season ended. The team started off rough, but really improved by the end.  I unfortunately have no picture of him playing (way to go mom!)

Thomas played on the Legends, which is coached by one of Steve's assistant baseball coaches. They played in a very competitive league in Grapevine against mostly 5th graders. They only won one game all season (yikes). It has been hard finding the right place to play for these kids. They are too good to play at the YMCA (they beat everyone by a huge margin) but aren't quite at the "select" level.  They did play some tournaments too..and even came in 2nd place at a couple of those.

We ended Thomas's season with a moms vs sons game. The moms "won" but only because we had 8 against 5 and our baskets counted as 3 points whereas the boys baskets counted as one point. Ha ha.  They were killing us the first quarter so Jason had to implement these rules so we had a fighting chance.  Let's just say, we moms were very sore the next day!

Charles played with a team that had been played together for a few years and had lots of really good players.  It was his first time to play, and although his skills still need quite a bit of work (dribbling, shooting) after a few games he caught on and really got aggressive. He would steal the ball and get rebounds the whole time he was in.  We were really proud of how far he came.  His team ended the season undefeated, which he loved of course!

Now it's onto Baseball!!
