basketball season begins

Marcus and Cale's basketball season began last Thursday night.  Marcus's team, Wake Forest, was victorious over the other team, also named after an ACC team.  The score was pretty low-I think both teams had less than 20 points each, and there was a lot of kind of just tossing the ball toward the basket to see if it went in.  I'm so glad they have a running clock.  And, there was some rough fouling going on-not because the kids were mean, but because they were just running into, and over each other.  Marcus actually dribbled and shot the ball more this time.  His last coach played him as more of a post player and this coach didn't.  I'm not actually sure if the coach is playing any player as a certain position this year, it was hard to tell.

Cale played on Saturday at 8am.  I did not go to that game, but slept in since I had to work that night and knew that I wouldn't get a nap that afternoon.  Cale tried to shoot the ball a lot, and I think scored half of the teams total points.  They lost the game, though.  I guess the Indiana Hoosiers (Cale's team) just couldn't pull out a win against whatever the name of the other team was (another Big Ten team).  We have a few more games in December and then, games every week in January and February-busy times!

(Hope you enjoyed the video of Marcus in action.  For some reason, I can shoot a video with my phone and the lighting is fine, but if I try to take a picture, I can not get it bright enough, even with flash, go figure.)
