Basketball Season - 4th Grade Version

Because Collin likes basketball, we signed him up for another season. It works out well because it’s between football and a Spring sport and it’s a short season. I say “Spring sport” because Collin has played baseball in the past but will be playing lacrosse for the first time in the Spring. 

The first hour practices were right before the holidays and only a few team members were able to attend. We did have one practice before our first game which was last night. The other team looked so much bigger and taller than our boys so I thought they were in for long game. They actually handle themselves really well, ran back-and-forth quickly, and were aggressive with the rebounds. Collin was at the free throw line at one point but did not make a basket. Later he said that he was not nervous at all. For most of the game, the teams were pretty close in score. However, during the last five minutes of the game I could tell they were getting tired and the other team started scoring more. The final score was 26 - 17.
