Weekly B-Ball Update

OK. I was bad this week. Although I did attend all the kids games, I didn't write down the final scores. I promise, it won't happen again, but for this week a broad overview will just have to do.

Lindsay continues to show improvement and actual interest in the game. She took a shot during the game this week (VERY big deal!) and actually HIT THE RIM! (even BIGGER deal!) If she would just get her feet off the ground when she shoots she might make her first basket!

Garrett had a somewhat disappointing week. Both his teams lost. Then he was asked to fill in on a 5th-6th grade team (at church) due to player being injured (and apparently out for the rest of the season). He jumped at the chance and I am all for anything that helps him burn some of that energy he never seems to run out of, so he played his third game in two days. Unfortunately that team lost too. Even though he is getting pretty frustrated with his losses, he is learning a great deal about basketball and teamwork.

Kimberly's team won, again. Apparently they have become the team to beat. With only one loss they have one of the winningest records in the league right now. The test will be next week when they play the only team they have lost to.

And finally. It's not really fair to leave Cynthia out of my weekly update simply because she isn't playing basketball. She has been working hard (or is it hardly working??) at the concession stand each week. She also deserves the credit for clean uniforms for her brother and sisters since she helps me try to keep up with the mountain of laundry that a family of 6 creates. She has been a huge help to me these past few weeks in more ways than I could list here.
