So close to the end (of travel basketball)

We are sooo close to the end of Ewan's travel basketball season.  One more practice and then probably 2 more games and we are done!  It's been a long 4, maybe 5 months almost.  And, even with the whining that Ewan does, I know that he likes going to practices and playing on the team.  And he has gotten better.  That's been cool to see.  Here's the whole team. Ewan, of course standing out, as the one child in black and holding his medal instead of wearing it.  The team got second place in a tournament last weekend.  The championship was their first loss of the season against what was probably the first actual competition they faced all year.  This team has rolled over all the other teams in their league-which has actually been kind of good for playing time for eveyone.  The coaches have the team divided into two groups with equal talent.  Most games, the kids are subbed out in a group and each group plays about half the game.  It's nice that the coaches try to be fair, when they can.  I don't know what the next year will hold for Ewan and basketball, but I'm glad he got the chance to play this year.
