Basketball

Austin is playing basketball with his baseball team. Our team name for basketball is the All Stars instead of the Bulldogs though. He has been so excited to play. His coach has said that he is by no means a basketball coach, but that they were going to try their best and have some fun. And really the goal is to stay in shape for baseball...

We had our first two games this weekend. We tied in the first (10-10), and won the second (10-1), in some high scoring, action packed games. It was so much fun to watch, and very hard to keep from yelling at them. It brought back a flood of memories from my days on the court, and hearing my mom over the crowd.

Our boys did awesome, Austin included. He made a basket in each game, got a few rebounds, had some great assists and was sent to the free throw line once too. Here is one of his very impressive baskets. The boys have a lot to learn about double dribbling, traveling, fouling, shooting and passing, throwing it in and every other aspect of the game, but for most of them it is their first time playing. So all in all they did pretty darn good.
