Basketball is Our Life!!

Will on Game Day! He's aggressive, he's determined and he loves it.

 

 Here is a picture of Colby taking a practice Shot

Colby and Quinten. Coached by their Dad. 100% Awesome!

A little bit on one-on-one play. My favorite part of watching twins play basketball is that there is usually always one of our boys on the court that we can watch in action!

Waiting to be Subbed in...

So he can run his little heart out. (So Proud).

 

The score in our semi final game. with 40 seconds remaining. It was a nail biter. This score keeper was rather happy to be my celebrity of the day.

Logan's Community Team. It was a great season!

But that is not where basketball ends for Logan. He plays on the Junior High team at school. The school division agreed to have each school pull together a Grade 6 team to help the students develop skills for their next year. Grade 7 is when they are able to try-out for the Junior High Team. Because Logan is already on the team, the coach of the Grade 6 team asked that Logan not participate. It was sad news but it made sense because Logan was told he already has enough experience and he shouldn't take away from the opportunity for the other students to develop their skills.

 

 

Then an interesting turn of event occurred. The Grade 6 team lost miserably. The coach approached me to ask if Logan could please join their team for the next game. He said they really needed his skill to boost their spirits. And so, for the Grade 6 Home Game Logan arrived to play. With 28 students on the team (that is ALOT) Logan was rotated in every second shift. Meaning, he was played much more than he should have been if a coach was attempting to keep even playing time for all the students. But he wasn't. He wanted to win. Haha.

 

It was fun to watch Logan play with more confidence because he assumed a leadership role. He was glowing (and maybe being a little too diligent in an effort to not disappoint).

I could tell he was running as fast as he knew how. With all the determination to impress. It was a great confidence builder for him. By the first half of the game their team was up by 20 points so he was excused to race off to Okotoks to play with his Junior High Team.

A quick switch of the Jersey and he's off to play again. We are so proud of his love for the sport, his committment and his determination.

 

 But that's not it for Basketball. We also have the need to give a huge shout out to the Spectators. Who provided their own realm of entertainment. This little man learned to walk the line. Literally. He knew that their was a portion of the court which should not be stepped on. This also meant that when he was the most frustrated he knew exactly where he needed to run.

 What fun can you find when you're stuck watching another game?

 The sideline show. Featuring Chase!

 I have no idea where this hat came from. But another moment of fun found....this time - by Will. Perhaps he won the white hat award.

 Pink Shirt Day. Stand Up Against Bullying!!

 Pink Shirt Spectators. Love Them!

Perhaps this sideline photography isn't entertaining enough for you. Well, let Chase step-it-up for you then! He'll delay the game by 20 minutes by pulling the school fire alarm. He'll create an evacuation and call in the heros in uniform to reset everything back to good.

He'll run away and be brought back by anyone willing to make the run. (Quinten)

And when the season is almost complete. It's time to simply pack your own sleeping gear. He's throwing in the towel on this season.

For the Love of the Game
