Basketball




Last night Damon and Court both played their last games for the regular season. Damon will be in a tourney next weekend in Jasper and may play a few others. It is hard when they both play the same night as we have to do the ole split as parents so they each have a parent at his or her game. Last night Makenna and I stayed in Montgomery to go to Damon's game. He played WRV and the team came out with a victory. The 8th grade ended the season posting a 18-3 record which is pretty good and a result of many hard practices. Mike got the pleasure of going to Bloomfield to be with Court. Her game went to overtime and they came up a little short. Overall the 5th grade girls posted a 8-5 record for the season.
It is hard to believe that it is time to move on to the next sport. Tomorrow afternoon Court and Makenna both start open gym practices for softball. This should be quite interesting as this will be the first time for Makenna to play any sport. We signed her up for dance class two years ago but that didn't work out so well because you have to stand still, listen and pay close attention.......well needless to say that was a lost cause. So we will see how this goes and take it one practice at a time. Mike will again coach the 10u team that Court plays on and any time left from that I'm sure he will be involved helping Makenna. Damon is undecided about playing baseball this summer. His one true love has turned out to be Cross Country and he will start conditioning for that as soon as basketball is done.

Until next time.........Maria
