More games
I can't help it, we have so many games it's all I can do to keep up. Both boys are playing basketball with the Parks & Rec department this fall. Dawn pulled a couple of strings and got them placed on the same team. Here is the schedule:
Nov 10 3:00 We dropped our first contest 25-16. There is one boy on our team that we know from church, Miles. He and our boys accounted for all of the team's scoring. Miles and Drew each had 4 points and David poured in eight. David and Drew each had several rebounds, probably around 4-5 each. I can only anticipate the team getting better next time.
Nov 17 3:00 David and Drew had extra incentive to perform well in their game because Grandma & Grandpa Leman were there to watch. David gave them a treat with his best game yet. The team finally had a fourth player, Brenden, get into the scoring column. He made a couple of free throws to tally 2 points which was Drew's total for the game also. Surprisingly, Miles came through with 6 points. (Miles is kinda short) The offensive hero today was David, who finished with a career-high 18 points. I didn't keep track of other stats, but I'm pretty sure he had a double-double because he was hauling in rebounds all over. It was a very exciting game that came down to the wire. The final minute was a typical close game ending with timeouts, fouls and drama. We were able to walk away with a 28-25 victory to even the season record at 1-1.
Dec 1 2:00 Cancelled due to ice storm.
Dec 8 2:00 We let one slip away. We had a 9 point advantage but ultimately fell 33-29. David dominated the boards with a dozen rebounds, buts only managed to score 4 points. Drew joined in with two points of his own, and one really sweet assist. David also had two blocked shots. That's easy to do when you're a head taller than everybody else. We'll have to do better next time.
Dec 11 7:00 This one was a thriller. We had a bit of excitement before the game when David accidentally got his hand smashed in the car door. He had some bruises and a small cut, but he decided to push on and play the game. He favored the hand a little early on, but by the end of the game he was as good as new. He was able to tally 9 points, along with 10 rebounds and a career high 4 blocked shots. Drew made his own contribution with 4 points. Drew also pulled down 8 rebounds and blocked one shot. We had another lead slip away and had to go to overtime to put this one away. We prevailed 33-30 in an entertaining contest.
Dec 15 3:00 This was a good cap to the season. Both boys played a good game and padded their individual stats. David scored only 3 points but he pulled down 10 rebounds to go with 5 steals. Drew matched him with 3 points of his own and 3 rebounds. Drew also had a sweet assist that generated a high five from the referee. It was close, but we prevailed 17-15 to finish with a winning record.
