Our basketball season came to an end this week. And I took absolutely no pictures -- pretty sad. Sigh. Anyway, Jacob played his final game on Tuesday and lost. That made for a losing season -- they didn't even win one game! He wasn't happy about that, obviously. On the bright side, he had a fabulous game! He made two foul shots and a couple baskets as well as a couple steals. He has really learned a lot this year and improved. He loves basketball and I think he's old enough to try some basketball camps this spring/summer.
Ryan played his last game on Thursday and lost (they were in tournament). His team lost by quite a few and only had 6 players that night. On the bright side of that, Ryan had another excellent game. With only that many guys, he played basically the whole game. Near the end of the game he swished a 3-pointer!! Wa-hoo! He's always great on defense and he put some points on the board too. Unfortunately, we weren't able to attend the whole game. Since Ryan has been playing with most of the same kids for a few years now, it's really fun to see them progress and get better as a team.
We got the boys a new basketball hoop for the driveway at Christmas, but it was too cold to do the cement work involved to install it. The weather has been quite springy lately, so we talked Grandpa V. into coming up today to help us start the construction. He and Mark got he pole all cemented in (400 lbs) and when it's all dried we can try to figure out how to put the thing together! Wish us luck. The boys are so very excited to have a basketball hoop again!
