Basketball

It's basketball season again and we are all excited!  I love watching my boys play basketball and they love playing it.

Jonah is playing pre-season right now.  It has been a little crazy because they haven't had very many practices and the coach was out of town for the first two games. 

Jonah swished his two foul shots in his first game.  Jonah has played great.  He was a little frustrated when his coach put him in as a forward. I told him to talk to the coach about it, but he either forgot or just didn't want to.  He did pretty good as a forward.  They play him on the left side and that is his strong side for shooting.

His coach moved Jonah back to guard in the last game.  He had Hyrum (who moved down from the A team) playing point guard and I think he realized that Jonah and Hyrum could work well together as guards. 

Saturday Jonah had a basketball game at 5 PM and 8 PM and a soccer game in-between.  He seemed to get more energized as the night went on, I don't know how he does it.  He had 12 points in his last game.  He had a couple of 3-pointers and some nice lay ups.  He is sure fun to watch.

Jonah also started indoor soccer last week. He is loving it!  It is so fast paced.  He loves kicking it off the walls.

He played awesome on Saturday.  He loved playing forward and was thrilled when he got a goal.

Wyatt started basketball too.  He loves basketball!

He is playing with Rockwell and Kellen and loving it.  Rockwell and Wyatt always do such a great job guarding their guy.

This league is so chaotic.  They aren't allowed to steal and they don't call fouls or follow very many of the other rules. 

Wyatt is a great dribbler and has done really well at driving to the hoop. 

He gets so excited when he makes a basket.  He does this cute, little strut down the court after he scores and he always looks over to make sure I saw!

One team they played had giant kids.  Every kid on their team was so tall.  It was a rough game. I loved that Wyatt still played tough and drove the ball to the hoop!

Keith has coached them a few times when Matt couldn't.  Jonah helped Keith coach one game.  I think Jonah learned that it is tough to coach.  He had a hard time getting the boys to listen to him!

Jonah was in charge of subs during the game.  I loved seeing him coaching Wyatt while he was out.

Such handsome boys!

I'm so glad that Wyatt enjoys sports, it is a great outlet for him.
