Jacob's Basketball Season '11-'12

What a great basketball season! Jacob played on two teams this season, CAM and EBA. Brad coached both teams along with our friend Derrick. The CAM team played at a local church in Boonville and the season ended with only 1 loss (by 1 point)! Brad and Derrick put a team together to play at EBA in Evansville. That season was not as good- they won 0 games!!! The experience really benefited the boys. The teams in Evansville are mainly travel teams that play and practice together all the time. The boys did great with losing even though they left it all out on the court! Brad saw such an improvement in the boys as the season ended. Jacob cannot wait until next basketball season but he's ready to play some baseball!!! We have about 3-4 weeks of "down" time until baseball season starts! Bring on baseball and warmer weather!

Jacob's Basketball '10-'11

Who knew that 5 & 6 year old basketball would be intense?! The fun out weighed the intensity by leaps and bounds!!! It was such a fun basketball season for Jacob. His daddy coached him for the first time, he had an awesome assistant coach (Coach Derrick) and tons of friends on his team! The team did great and I think they all had lots of fun! I can't believe the next time Jacob will play on a basketball team he will be in 1st grade-depressing!

Jake's Basketball Banquet

On Saturday, March 20, Jacob received his very first trophy. His coach had some really sweet things to say about him being the littlest one on the team and how he played well and would steal the ball if told to. We really enjoyed watching him play this season. He was so excited to get his first trophy and has been carrying it around the house all week. He is signed up for his first year of baseball and we are really looking forward to that starting in a week! The pictures above are:

1. Jake and his trophy
2. Kendall, Jake, Kaylen and Autumn - they were on his team and are also his buddies from church
3. Jake and Christopher- another buddy from church but they were on different teams

5. A family photo with none of us looking too thrilled-lol (poor Jordan- his mouth looks terrible)!

Jacob's Basketball Game

Basketball is one of our favs! Jacob seems to enjoy playing and is doing great considering he's the youngest on the team. He's 4 1/2 and is playing with Kindergartners and 1st graders. He has improved tremendously throughout the season. It has been exciting this year because Jake has 3 of his friends from church playing on his team. This coming Saturday is his last game and we don't want the season to end! Thank goodness for baseball right around the corner!

Jake's first game, oh how I love the game!

Jacob is now playing basketball! His first game was last Sat., Jan. 16 and he did so good! His defense was great and he scored a basket! Brad and I were so proud of him because he's the littlest and youngest guy on the court. He's only 4 and is playing with Kindergartners and 1st graders. He had his second game today, Jan. 23 and he played good as well. No baskets this time but he got some steals and played really well defensively! I enjoy watching both the boys play sports, there's nothing like it!
