He Shoots, He Scores!

Basketball has been a major consumer of our time lately. Bowen is playing city league with Carter as his coach, and Jackson is playing competition league with Carter as his coach. Needless to say, Carter has been busy coaching a few days a week and I have been busy cheering (and wrestling Gwennie). Here are a few of the highlights. Bowen first:


Believe it or not one of MY kids is the tallest on his team....you heard me, Bowen is the center on his team, and he is much bigger than most of the boys his age. He really caught on this year and was amazing in the middle having 22 rebounds in one game!


Here he is going for a lay-up and getting the basket and the foul.





Carter is a wonderful coach. He is VERY patient, a necessary quality when coaching this age.

Now for "The Beasts" (as Jackson has humbly nicknamed himself) highlights:


Now THIS guy, on the other hand, is the SHORTEST on the team. BUT he is fast, aggressive, and relentless! He has improved so much over the last few years. He practices and practices and practices, every day he shoots hoops outside, rain or cold, dark or light. We are praying with all our might for a growth spurt.


He is great little ball handler. His passes are incredible and he always has tons of assists and steals.

He even tries to humble himself to take some coaching advice from his old man. He TRIES.


Carter has coached this group for a long time now. All of the parents LOVE him as a coach. This little team just finished their season with NO losses! They are so incredible together. Not one of them is selfish. They pass and make each other look good. They are teachable, and not to mention very talented.

This is their rendition of the "Tebow." Teenage boys for ya.




Here is the whole crew, a bunch of great kids. It has been a BLAST watching my boys play sports this year. They make me one proud mama.
