Basketball

Bradley played his first basketball game of the season last night and this is the first year since we moved to Florida that I haven't coached. It was definitely different sitting in the stands and watching. Our friend Bev had the best time laughing at me as I officiated the game from the stands - calling travel violations, up & downs and fouls. Bradley's team won 22-6 but really should have won at least 32-6! He scored 4 points (2 baskets) but missed 4 foul shots! Needless to say, he needs to put some time in at the foul line - they're called "free throws" for a reason..... He played pretty good for their first game. Brock (from travel baseball) is our guard on the basketball team and he was all over the court. He had several steals and scored several points.

This weekend we're back to the baseball field for our last tournament of the year. We'll have a very unusual weekend as we play both our pool play games Friday night and then will play elimination bracket on Sunday - no games on Saturday. I'm excited that the boys get to play at night as that is very unusual for them. It's also supposed to be a little cooler here on Friday so that should make for great baseball weather.

FYI - we're living next to the Scrooges who have yet to put up their Christmas decorations. Some of you long-time readers may remember last year's prank with our geese - I'm waiting for my new yard decorations to disappear as TR has started the battle by putting Scrooge signs on their door. Stay tuned ....
