Summer Season (Basketball)

After a couple of weeks off ... summer basketball is starting up. Keaton, while still in the 4th grade, is playing up with the 5th/6th graders (this wasn't entirely intentional). He won't be playing against Callahan (in 6th grade) however, as Callahan's team is playing up with the 7th/8th graders (this move WAS intentional). So the boys are probably not in for as "easy" a season as they both had in the Spring, but that's ok, challenge is good. The new uniforms are RED, which the boys are quite happy with. Now... basketball doesn't require a lot of special equipment, but as each season starts, there seems to be the "need" for new items. Keaton had been wanting some long Nike socks, so I did pick up a pack for both boys. We also got some new basketball shoes for Keaton (also Nike ... we have found we do need to pay for the name brands, as the less expensive shoes tend to slide all over the floor). He also wants a bag to carry his shoes and ball (he'd like a new ball too ... does it never end?) We'll see ...

I'll be posting all the game videos and recaps on the Hoop Highlights blog. We were all anxious to see how the games would go, playing against older and bigger kids. Unfortunately, the opposing team didn't show for Keaton's game, so we didn't get to find out! That was a big disappointment. Callahan's game was good, they won, although it wasn't quite as easy as last season. Basketball begins again!
