I am so proud of Erin for going out for her freshman team. I know it took a lot of courage for her to play. She hasn't played much basketball throughout her childhood, so she had a lot to learn. But she did great. She also played on the church basketball team where she was the best one on the team. So she scored lot of points and the coach had to several times remind her to pass to her teammates because they would be killing the other team. Erin didn't like passing much because more often than not, when she passed, they would miss the ball. She liked school ball but she loved church ball. She was number 15 on both teams.
Eric played church ball. His team went undefeated so they got to play the Stake leaders for the tournament. Unfortunately, those "old men" beat them in that game. But he had a lot of fun playing.
Nate and Zach played in the community league. I think they were the only 4th graders on their team while the rest were 3rd graders. They won about half and lost half. Zach was the team leader and scored a majority of their points. Nathan got really good at free throws and by the end of the season, he gained enough confidence to dribble the ball down the court for layups. He made 2 baskets in each of the last two games. So he finished strong.
I am going to miss all those Saturday basketball games, but I will not miss all the weeknight practices, especially now with Mario leaving for a couple months.
