Basketball is upon us

It's the start of basketball season for all the little junior huskies out their. Marcus and Cale both started playing games last weekend. Both teams came away with losses, but both boys have improved in their play. Cale did not enjoy the loss. I have to say there were some threats from his parents to straighten up if he wanted to keep playing for the season. It's hard for him to lose anything, and last year, he
played on the team that won their division. We just really try to stress improvement of play over winning. It's a tough lesson to learn.
I didn't get to see Marcus's game. I was home with younger one who needed a nap. Andy is coaching that team this year, a first time to coach bb for him. From what he told me, the team did well...when they did what they worked on in practice. His team is all 4th graders and 1 5th grader and in the first game, size of the kiddos was also a bit of a factor since the team they were playing had all 5th graders and 1 4th grader. The seasons is long with plenty of time for improvement.
Ewan doesn't start games until after the new year. Apparently he actually has a clue about basketball.
Games this weekend include a 2nd grade match up with a team that includes a very aggressive player. The kids have been coached on how to guard him and I'm sure one of the primary one will be Cale. Should be interesting.
Stay tuned.
