Alex scored his second bucket of the year last night as TCS defeated Bethel. TCS was ahead the whole game and played a pretty good game against a school with much bigger kids. Alex got a little bit of playing time since they were in the lead and had one steal and the shot heard around the world. Alex got the ball on an errant pass to Sam P in the low post. He picked up the ball, did a reverse spin that left the defender in the air and he easily shot in the 3′ jumper. The whole bench exploded when he made the shot, but unfortunately Dad didn’t get a photo because he was expecting the ball to be caught by Sam P. Mom was totally clueless and thought Sam P shot the ball, in fact it wasn’t until we were walking to the parking lot that she realized ‘her baby’ scored the 2 points. After the game the team was calling Alex the ‘ghost in the post.’
