Can I just say the 8:00 am on a Saturday morning isn't a great time for a basketball game? None the less, Dallin's enthusiasm doesn't dwindle at this early hour. He is slowly getting the intricacies of a zone defense figured out. He didn't make any actual baskets today, but he made one at the buzzer last week; we'll count it for both games. Tacey loves to go to Dallin's games. I am sure you are thinking; "What a great, supportive sister!". The truth is, if we get there early enough she gets to keep score. I think she likes a position of power...
Then at 11:00 McCade had his game. In his league the point is to actually shoot at the right basket and make one; they don't keep score. He did make 2 baskets though. He also make a couple of assists; it is good for him to kearn to PASS the ball! He got beat up a bit as the game resembled football a little more than basketball today. He had a really good time, and posed for his team picture. He also got to do the jump ball at he begining of the game. He caught his own tip. Weird, I know. I posted video of it at the very bottom....
At 2:00 we had Tacey's game. Shane and I are going to have to get a sedative perscription; her game are INTENSE! Those girls are rough; tackle basketball seems to be the trend. Anyway, they started the game with only 5 of their 8 team members; the coaches were even gone. They had all been viciously attacked by a flu bug. They did eventually have another player show up though. Tacey's team didn't get to rest (like the other team did), yet they still won 19-18. Tacey likes to freak the other team out. She actually dribbles as well with her left hand as her right. She acts like she is going right then flips hands and goes left. The final stats for Tacey were 4 baskets (8 points) and 3 assists (we think, we kinda lost count..)
Anyway, look at the only tip off caught by the player that did the tipping, and have a great day!

I know he goes out the door... he actually came back in dribbling and continued to play. Ah, the joys of a game with no rules.... (ha ha!)
