Basketball is over! Baseball has begun!

 

 

 

 

Conner, Derek, and Cameron just ended their Basketball season. Conner and Derek had the opportunity for the first time to play on the same team. We moved Derek up to a higher level because of his size and skill. It was a good move! They both did awesome! Conner has a great shot, and scored 15-20 points most games. He also improved a ton with rebounding. Derek also rebounded great. He did well in the center position. He has learned to post up and pivot in order to score down low. They were so excited to play on the same team! They get along so well! They are truly best of friends. They still fight like brothers, but a few minutes after an argument they have forgotten all about it. All the time practicing at home together helped them on the same team. They could read each other's mind, knowing exactly where to throw the ball to get it to the other. They had some great plays!
Cameron is the funniest child to watch play sports. Intense is not a strong enough word to describe Cam. He is very driven to win! He watches the score like a hawk! Every time he would score, he would look and make sure they put the points on the score board. If the score keeper wasn't fast enough, Cam would let them know. He made me laugh numerous times in the game. He is quite the basketball player! He scored every point in almost every game, and became concerned when we would call him a ball hog. On numerous occasions he tried to pass the ball to a team mate, but they would drop it and it was stolen by the other team. Eventually, he just started taking the shots himself. After we told him he was being a ball hog, he would make it a point to pass the ball to a team mate, and then look at me and say, "Mom, did you see me pass the ball?" Too funny! By the last game, he wanted his team mates to score a basket. He passed it several times to different players, and quite a few of them scored a basket for the first time this season. He was so proud of them! It was exciting watching the faces of children after they score their very first basket in a game!!
