Champions!

What an exciting week! William's basketball team made the finals! This was a first for William, none of his teams have made it this far in the past, and we were all really excited. It was a double elimination and they entered the final game undefeated, so with Maggie, Uncum, Grammy, Pop-Pop, Tom, myself and Patrick present and cheering they played their hearts out on Tuesday unfortunately still losing 23 to 26.






Since it was double elimination, they had to be beaten 2x so off we went tonight to face St. Joe's once again. What stress! They were neck and neck all night they were never separated by more than 4 points and William made 2 shots, got a rebound and was fouled! No points...but he really tried! He has made such progress this year, thanks to some special pointers from some super sports moms and Coach Tom, he has really been working hard. We have now invested in sports glasses and some new gear , and it has made a difference in his confidence on the court. He even played hard enough to foul someone last game! When he came off the court he felt really bad, but I tried to explain that if he never ever fouled he wasn't trying hard enough. One foul all season was nothing to be upset about. And it was a reaching foul for goodness sake...like those lanky 8 year olds can keep track of their arms!

So in the end they came out on top winning by 1 point in the last 30 seconds (27-26)! It's sad that they can't win them all, but I am glad that they can win some! And we are so proud they won this one!







Anyway, as we were leaving, all the team members older sisters waved goodbye to Patrick...as always he had made "friends" with the other siblings there and the older girls love dragging him around.

Saturday is baseball assessments, and Sunday is Lacrosse evaluations...the "busy" season starts now. Baseball, Lacrosse, and Boy Scouts...and Patrick in T-ball...Spring has sprung!
