Marcus and basketball

I got to take Marcus to his basketball game this morning. Usually, Andy takes Marcus and then we meet up at Cale's game or there's time to drop Marcus off at home and pick up Cale for his game. Anyway, Marcus's team had 5 kids there today, so everyone played the entire time. The coach is a serious person who also coaches the 2nd grade travelling team (can you believe that the 2nd grade had a travelling team?) and whose son plays on the in-house and travelling team (and is a good little point guard, but also very reluctant to pass the ball to other players). Marcus appears to play a kind of post position and does well getting rebounds (he is one of the tallest players on the floor). He doesn't shoot very much, but will pass the ball back out to the perimeter. Marcus's team won the game which was accompanied by the most "jump ball" calls I have ever seen. The possession arrow changed at least 15 times that game. Marcus did a good job guarding his player and I think his ball handling skills have improved since starting the season.

Marcus is #7 in black in the photo. I had another one added, but just erased it on accident. No worries, it was still of his back. I only took a couple photos. It's hard to get good shots of kids that keep running around :-).
