Weekly B-Ball Update

Sorry this is so late, I have been distracted by the events of the weekend and busy with a heavy week of school responsibilities. With games starting up again tonight, I figured I better give you last week's update!



Lindsay wasn't really interested in her game, but she managed to stay focused and play well for at least a few minutes. She caught a pass and dribbled down the court, she threw the ball in, and she almost got a rebound. She says she likes basketball better than soccer, but she REALLY wants to be a cheerleader.



Garrett had 2 losses (school 9-8, church 19-14) and one win(27-19). He definitely doesn't like to lose and his emotions aren't hidden at all afterwards, but he always goes into the next game with a winning attitude. His confidence is obviously different depending on which team he is playing for, but he is learning from all of them.



Kimberly's team won 37-35. It was an exciting game right up to the last seconds. They are proud of their winning record and they work hard every week. Since the powers that be decided that a tournament created the wrong atmosphere, it has been called off. They will just play regular games restarting the original schedule to determine who plays who. That means their next game will be against the only team they have lost to. It should be exciting.

Cynthia spent much of her time sitting next to me (and Austin of course!) on the floor. I take a couple of my school books and try to get a few things accomplished between games, but that doesn't always work out. I'd rather spend the time talking to my daughter, hearing about her struggles and her joys anyway.

This past week has held many disappointments, but that's another topic for another day. Right now, I am looking forward to watching my children play basketball.
