Basketball

Basketball started at the end of January and lasted all month long into March. Kyler was on the same team as last year going to Altus to play games. Being in the same 1st-2nd grade division, our boys were the bigger ones this year, except for Damon. We tried to get him on a 1st grade team, but the parents were not cooperating. They wanted to drive to all different tournaments that had inconsistent rules, referring, and costs. We tried to talk them into the same league as Kyler's team, but they wouldn't listen. Thankfully, Kyler's coach decided to let Damon play with the 2nd graders. It worked out so nicely! Damon may have been the smallest one out there but that didn't stop him or slow him down. He was intimidated whatsoever.

Kyler greatly improved over the course of the season becoming much for aggressive and assertive.  He has a great shot and made several.  His dribbling is good; he just lacks the confidence he needs to do it more in the games.

Damon is super quick and a great rebounder.  He comes out of no where and rebounds or stops the ball on defense. Their coach would tell Damon to stay on a guy, and Damon wouldn't leave him.  He was great at help defense too.  It was very natural and instinctive for him.  The ball didn't get passed to him very much, but he made point almost every game without anyone passing to him.
