More Roundball News….

  More basketball for the boys as they had two games to close out the week on Thursday and Friday.  The games on Thursday were not pretty – both teams lost by double digits and the games were never in question.  The other teams were just much bigger and more athletic than our team – the schools are much bigger too.  Sam only had a minute or two of playing time in the JV game, so he didn’t see much action.  Alex, on the other hand, had one of his best games ever.  He, of course brought some great defense to the game but also finally starting to take more of a leadership role on the team.  Alex scored five points – including a beautiful 3-point shot (nothing but net) that had the whole bench off their feet. He also had several assists and was dribbling more on the floor.
 The games on Friday night were split, with the JV team losing but the Varsity team winning on Senior Night.  Sam got 2-3 minutes in the JV loss, but took advantage of the time with 1 shot attempt that just rolled out and 2 rebounds.  Alex had another great game taking 4 or 5 shots and getting two points.  Alex took some good shots and played great defense as usual.  He also had several rebounds , couple of steals, and a few assists – overall another great performance.   The team is starting to rely on him on both ends of the floor!

Senior Night, Alex chose not to get flowers, balloons or candy…
just a new soccer ball, that made all the other boys jealous. 🙂
