Basketball

Basketball season was a lot of frustrating fun for Landon's team.  They are old enough to get the idea, but not coordinated enough to really "play".  There is a whole lot of traveling and double-dribbling going on, but they get good exercise and have fun doing it, so what more can you ask?

Landon had a fun team this year and they worked hard.

Basketball is one of Jayden's all-time favorite sports to play.  It's just too bad that he's so short.  But, being short has its advantages sometimes, especially when the opponent thinks you're not a threat.  Jayden is a pretty good ball-handler since he's low to the ground and quick.  

Jayden's team was a whole lot of fun to watch.  There are some talented kids on the team and they all play really well together.  There was a game where everyone had scored at least one basket except for one kid.  During the last quarter they all decided to pass the ball as much as possible to that other kid so they could say that "everyone scored."  When the kid sunk his basket, the whole team celebrated.  Those of us in the bleachers didn't quite understand what all the celebrating was about until after the game.  What a good group of boys.

 Now, onto the next sport - Baseball, here we come!
