calling all screaming sports fans

This has nothing to do with the superbowl. Very far from it in fact. I think I've mentioned before that Connor is playing basketball for his school this year. And his team is ranked #2 so far......until tonight when we beat the #1 team. The exception tonight was that Connor's team was missing two players so they had no relief. Each boy played the whole game. It was amazing. Connor played his little tail off! Other than Blake nearly getting thrown out in the third quarter, it was great and we screamed our asses off. Well, mostly I screamed my ass off. What's wrong with these other mom's? Have they never been on the worst team before? Do their kids always do that great? Don't think so!! If I find time to quit screaming and take pics I will do so and post some this WE.
Anyway, my baby did awesome and I can't quit telling him so. And if you care to join me they have another game this saturday and I'm not sure if I won't still be hoarse from tonight. I may need some help. GO WABBITS!!!!!!

Basketball

Today was Casey's first time to play a basketball game. I was very curious to see how this would go. She loves soccer and can play a mean game, but I've always been her coach. I wasn't sure how she would take being yelled at by someone other than me, and how would she take their directions? She seems like a natural at soccer, barely even being told half the time what to do. So here we go. She was a starting player. She did great, she played defense against a girl a whole head taller than her and never backed down. You can tell she's fearless out there! She played and played and never seemed to get upset if she didn't make a basket. It was pretty darn funny though because she kept guarding that girl even when her team had the ball. We will work on that. But all and all I thought she was very good. Of course she got a green star for best defense! On the other hand, Connor's team at Holy Souls is ranked #2 overall in the league. They have only lost one game so far, and that was by one point in the last few seconds of the game.
