One more week of "regular" season play left for the boys after this weekend. I thought I'd combine the past two weeks into one update, mostly because then I will be caught up with basketball news.
Last week, Marcus and Cale both had double headers. Grammy Pammy was visiting and got to see each of the boys play and help shuttle the kids around to the different games. A huge help for us.
Cale's team lost both of the games last week: 16-22, ?-28. I got there in time to see the end of the first game and then switched with Grammy so she could see the next game. Cale made at least 6 pts in each game, played hard defense and ran the plays his coached asked him to.
Ewan's team won 30-28 in a back and forth scoring game. Ewan got a basket, which is all he needs in each game to be happy.
Marcus's team lost both their games: 20-28, 21-28. As a team they are playing much, much better. They were just outshot by an mostly 5th grade basketball team. If their shots would have gone in.....
On to this week....
I missed Cale's game, but got text updates from Andy. Cale's team lost 6-23. Cale scored 4 points and guarded the other team's high scorer well. Guarded the player so well, in fact, that the player only took one shot while Cale was on the floor with him.
Ewan played next. His team won 14-8. Once again, Ewan scored a basket, which is all he needs per game to feel good. For reasons unknown, he went sliding on the floor a lot. Diving for the ball? Slippery shoes? Not quite sure. I also got to see his "defense face" as he was guarding another player. It looked ferocious.
Marcus played last. Once again, I did not see his game since I took the little ones home for a nap. And...they won! 41-33! Andy said they played great as a team, working together to move the ball around. The team they beat was the 3rd ranked team in their group, so the players, not to mention the parents, were pretty excited.
And, that's it. We are all caught up on basketball news. Thanks for sticking around for the whole post.
