Christian's Middle School B'ball Experience

(I just realized I hadn't done a post for Christian's b'ball so here it is.)
Christian tried out for the Middle School basketball team in October. We let him give it a try, although honestly we didn't think he'd make it. He did make it - one of 3 6th graders added to the team. We were proud of him, but whew, it made our winter "off season" much busier.

It's so hard to get pictures inside of a gym and these first pictures aren't great because they were taken with my camera.... I didn't want to embarrass him with my big camera at his first games!

Overall, he enjoyed it. He got to dress out with the Varsity team a couple of times, which were definitely the high light of his season. He was so funny - after the first time, he said, "Mom, it was SO cool to run through the cheerleader tunnel and everyone yelling for us!" :-)

Anyway, these aren't the greatest pictures but you can get the idea....


Check out the size difference!!!



These guys were on the J.V. team with Christian watching the game. That's Coach Howell with them

That's Christian & Cameron, his buddy who was on the team with him

Again, notice the size!
