We all went to Alex’s basketball game at Terra Ceia yesterday. By the way TC is out in the middle of nowhere, somewhere between Washington and Plymouth and about an hour away. The team lost by 40 points and it was never close as TC worked a full court press early and jumped to quick 20 point lead. Alex got a couple of minutes playing time in the 2nd quarter when the coach benched the original 5 players. Unfortunately the next 5 players couldn’t beat the press either so he quickly swapped them back out again. Alex then got about 3-4 minutes in the 4th quarter (quarters are only 6 minutes long). Alex was passed the ball a few times but most of the times just passed it right back again. Except for one time… Alex got the ball in the corner and was wide open with nobody to throw it too. So Alex drove the baseline and pulled up for a short 5′ jump shot and made the goal. We thought his Mom was going to jump out of the stands she was yelling so loud. 🙂
