basketball

The latest sports season has just come to a close - and as usual it was an exciting and successful couple of months!

It all began with the 3-on-3 youth basketball charity tournament in January. Hamp was asked to join his buddies' team and the four of them had a great time! Since there was no other 4th grade boys' team, they played the 4th grade girls, the 5th grade girls, and the 5th grade boys! As long as they were on the court it didn't matter - they were having fun.

Then the regular season started and Hamp was well-coached and hard working. He learned a lot and played well... so well that their team won all but one game! (a nice departure from last year's season!!!)

I'll say it again - I don't know much about basketball but I do know that Hamp's team truly paid attention at practice and executed plays on the court that resulted in points on the scoreboard. It was so fun to watch them all get better game after game, and work as a team to experience some success on the court.

The awards ceremony proved to be a nice way to honor all the 3rd-6th grade boys who participated in Rec League basketball - with the highlight being the individual awards from the coaches.

Clearly, Hamp was pretty impressed with his honor:

On to baseball...
