Nate's 3rd season of basketball came to a close this week, on Tuesday night. It was yet another rough season, but luckily, Nate still had fun. I'm not sure how much he improved, to be honest, so that was a little frustrating for us to watch (especially Greg)!
Most of the boys on his team are classmates, and have played with him the past 2 years. We picked up 4 new players this year, and they were a welcome addition.
Some highlights from the season:
 |
| Ninja defense moves! |
 |
| The Four-Eyes Club :) |
 |
| Fighting for the rebound! |
 |
| He shoots, he scores! |
At the last game of the regular season, we had our first lead EVER!!
We were winning the WHOLE GAME, but then lost by 2 points at the buzzer. Oh my goodness, it was so nerve-wracking to watch as a parent! Not to mention how heartbreaking it was to see them come SO close to winning, and then lose at the very end. (Did I mention that we didn't win ANY games all season!?) As you can see, many of the boys were very upset....
We were in the "bronze" category for the tournament, and had our game this past Tuesday night. It was another close one - the opponent had only won one game - but we still managed to lose. The refs were pretty awful, so I'd like to blame them, but no such luck :( Again, some of the boys got pretty upset because we only lost by a few points. Truth be told, I think Nate was just relieved the season was over. Ha!
As a sidenote, Abby got dragged to 2 practices & 1 game per week. Luckily, she was quite the trooper and didn't mind going too much. Mostly because she is Nate's biggest fan! And she loved playing with lots of the other little siblings:
Glad he likes basketball so much!
