for the love of basketball

 I wish, I wish, I had good pictures of my kids playing basketball, but I just don't have the talent or the equipment, so I'm glad to have what I have! This is Jacob - center of picture, white jersey, #20.
 At his age, the league often doesn't seem to call fouls, but Jacob seems to find a way to get to the foul line at least once during a game.  He can sink 'em too!
 This is Ryan, in black, #8.  He loves basketball.  It's a good thing too, because his season has been less than stellar -- his team has lost all their games.  He's learning to finish what he starts.  He and his team have improved over the season, but they seem to come up short anyway. This picture is from a game played in their Layton league.
 Same court. Ryan in black, center leftish.
 This picture actually comes from a game during one of their AAU tournaments.  It's hard to see Ryan in the huddle -- he's farthest left, with his arm sticking out, standing next to the big guy. (To Ryan's height credit, he is bending over in this picture -- he's not really THAT much shorter than the big guy!)

Final picture is the tip-off of a game in his South Davis league. (The lighting in this gym is actually pretty good!)  Ryan is again on the far left in black.
My boys love playing basketball!
