Basketball Begins...

Evan taking control

This week Evan and Price had their first basketball games of the season. They both love playing. Evan is on the Rams this year. The league is for 2nd and 3rd graders, though he played at this level last year. There are 10 players on the team so each player plays for 1/2 the game. Evan had either 28 or 30 points, depending on who you ask. Eventually, he was asked not to take so many shots and to pass the ball more... not easy for a boy who knows the ins and outs of the game, loves to play, and is rather competitive.

Poor coach must have asked Evan to sit down at least 10 times... not only did he not listen (I am not sure his intense self is capable of doing so anyway) but soon the whole team was standing.

The score was too close for comfort for Evan; he may have no fingernails left by the end of the season!

Price likes to shoot the ball, a lot. He and his teammate on the left worked well together.

Price is in the 4-6 grade league and has a great 1st game, even though his team, the Panthers, did not win.

Price always was on the side of the court opposite from me... next week I will know where to sit!

Price had around 8 points. They play full court so it is a bit more running than in the younger leagues but Price looked very comfortable and confident.

Looking forward to next week!
