After a crazy last two weeks of basketball the season has officially ended. We had regionals this past weekend at a university about an hour and half away. Our boys went in seated third in the state for elementary teams there was a total of 12 boys elementary teams I think. We had our first game on Friday afternoon. The team we played came out fighting and in the end won at the buzzer by one point. Our guys were all so distraught they played so hard to win most of them were crying at the end of the game. Boys just take things so hard when it comes to sports sometimes. Lucas was crying to it was the disappointment of not winning and having the chance to go on to the final state game. Ben when in the locker room and gave the team a pep talk and they all came out a lot happier and looked to the game the next day. The team was league champs so they got presented with a trophy on Saturday. Three of the kids are missing from the picture for some reason. It was a silver lining in their weekend one they were thrilled with. On Saturday we had a game in the morning and the team came out strong. Lucas scored the first two points of the game and from then on just had a terrific game. Ben told him it was his best game he's ever played he was just a little fighter. He had a few assists, and was playing defense just awesome. We were so proud of him and the team. Ben was the head coach this year of Lucas' team which they both really enjoyed. He's planning to coach again next year which Lucas is thrilled with. All in all they had a great season and had lots of fun as a team and made some great friendships.
Here's Lucas he's number three defending the guy driving to the hoop in the middle. Way to go Hornets!!

Too bad they lost to that team. I think you said they beat them the three other times they played them? That is crazy. Oh well. At least they won their second game. Plus, there is always next year. :)
I think I would cry too. When Isaac coached I could hardly watch, the pressure was too much. Like Sharon said there is always next year, maybe Lucas will hit a growth spurt be then, hehehe. Love the pics!
