Magic

March 1, 2024

Spencer had another fun season of OTM basketball with Magic! They worked hard with two practices a week starting back in November. First tournament was at Hoops and then the Jingle Bell Jam where they made it all the way to the final game. Spencer missed the final game for Paris and the team couldn’t pull out the win against MB Black. It was an excellent start to the season though!

When regular season play they were on a streak! All season the played hard and won all of their games except the ones against the other MB teams. Womp Womp. They came pretty close to beating MB Black but both times they played MB Green they just couldn’t put it together. It was not the ending the team wanted but they still had a great run, got better at basketball, and had fun.

Apparently I only take pictures of Spencer when he’s shooting free throws! ha!

Tennis

February 21, 2024

This winter I joined a 3.5 USTA team and played matches with them. It was fun and good experience – much more challenging matches but I still won more than I lost! I’ll play with them again for the spring season in addition to playing 4.0 for MBC. I say the more tennis the better!!

Of course, plenty of cardio tennis too….

Injuries

February 15, 2024

On top of the tonsillectomy this week, we’ve had more injuries than I care to deal with recently! About two weeks ago, Maxwell was covering 2nd base when the runner slid into the base and took him out at the knee. Ouch. He was really hurt and couldn’t walk. It happened on a Saturday and I got him into Andrews on Monday afternoon. He got x-rays and checked out by Dr. Ortega and thankfully it was just a deep contusion – a bone bruise.

It’s still giving him some pain but so thankful there were no ligaments damaged!

Then last weekend, Spencer was just shooting hoops during halftime of the 5th grade rec game and somehow came down wrong, fell, and hit his head on the court. He ended up majorly tweaking his neck and literally could not hold it straight. After a lot of back and forth, I ultimately took him to the ER at Children’s to get checked out.

They did X-rays and thankfully it was just a muscle issue. They sent us home with some valium and peace of mind! He’s still a bit crooked but recovering.

I’d like an injury free week please!

Basketball

February 12, 2024

Another fun rec season of basketball has come and gone! All three played and all three had fun and none of the three won very much! ha!

Samantha’s team was the Blue Sparks and they sure brought hustle and heart to each game. Samantha is a great little, aggressive basketball player. She may not have the height, but she has the hustle and would get in there and fight for the ball. She consistently scored a basket or a free throw each game. I was really proud of her this year because she really didn’t know anyone on her team but still made the very best of it and loved playing!

Gotta love 3rd grade – look at the height difference between Samantha and 23!

It’s the most fun when your teachers come to your game!

Go Blue Sparks!

Spencer’s team was Texas with Coach Sleeper and crackerjack assistant Coach Brown! They played hard but kinda had a rough season – I think they lost 4 games but either 1 or 2 points! They played great games but ultimately the shots didn’t go their way too many times. Spencer balled out and was a great leader on his team. I was really proud of him and the way he handled himself all season. He’s a good sport and a good kid. Texas really ended up peaking at the right time though. They made an impressive run in the playoffs all the way to the Final Four!! Go Texas!!

Maxwell played 7th grade rec basketball and it’s pretty fun – the teams are coached by 9th graders and there’s basically no practices and plenty of street ball antics. Maxwell’s team was the orange Traffic Cones – they had style but not much chance at winning! ha! Their “A” player was gone for a majority of the games playing golf. Maxwell stepped up and really lead the team pretty well but they didn’t pull off the win too often. Maxwell then ended up getting hurt and wasn’t able to play in their final playoff game so the Cones really didn’t stand a chance. It was still a fun season though!
