Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
To celebrate the end of the season, Spencer’s rec team all went to a Birmingham Squadron game! These pics make it pretty clear how much fun they had!
They even snuck into some courtside seats until someone told them to move. ha! But then they made it on the jumbotron so a win all around!
They even got to meet some of the players after the game and get their autograph.
A fun night for these ballers!
Go Ducks!
Spencer played OTM basketball again on the Mountain Brook Magic. Games started back in December at the Jingle Bell Jam and continued through last week with the OTM tournament. That combined with twice a week practice plus rec ball means Spencer has played a lot of basketball. He wouldn’t have it any other way!
This team really came together this season. We picked up a new point guard and everyone seemed to find their rhythm most games. We ended the season 6-2. We lost miserable to the MB “Black” team and then lost another game to a good Homewood team. These boys had high hopes of making it to the championship game to rematch the Black team but they lost in a heartbreaker against a Hoover team in the semifinals.
Larkin, Joe, Wyatt, Wyatt, Spencer, Graham, Ford, and Hunter with Coach T!
I’m so so proud of this team and how hard they worked. Spencer always played hard and that is all we can ask!
Go Magic!! Go #7!!
Like last year, Maxwell has been on the school’s robotics team. He built a good robot this year and, as the only 6th grader on his team, really stepped into the leader role for his team, the Gigachads!
The 6th graders in Robotics (minus Jack who bailed about halfway through the season)…
Of course Robotics is more fun when one of your good buddies is doing it too. Thankful Gray was also in Robotics at his school!
They went to all of the tournaments throughout the season and did pretty well at a lot of them.
While they came close, they never got that first or second place to automatically earn a bid to state. However, at the end of the season their skills score got them a bid! Hooray! Maxwell was pretty excited and proud, as he should be! Domo Arigato!
Spencer’s rec basketball team this season had a great run! They ended the season in 4th place and made it all the way to the Final Four in the tournament! Spencer really played great all season and did a good job handling the ball and sinking plenty of jump shots!
I was so proud of his leadership on the team and, as always, his hustle! He loves to play basketball!
It really was a fun season watching these boys play!
Go Ducks!!
Samantha’s basketball season has also come and gone…and we built a lot of character this season! ha! Her team only won 2 games and finished 13th out of 13 teams. But, they hustled, learned a few things, and had some good fun. That’s what its all about!
One of the girls that was was supposed to be on her team was never able to play due to an injured foot so they only had 6 players all season but those 6 gave it their all! 2nd grade basketball is funny because the defenders can’t come out of the box – so the only play is to dribble to the side, play defense on offense to block the defenders, and shoot from the side of the goal. Samantha got pretty good at that shot! She played with a ton of hustle and grit and I got lots of pics of her jumping up in the air to make that shot!! I love to watch that blonde ponytail swing!
I was so proud of how hard she played every game. She showed up and gave it her all, that’s for sure. She’s a good little ball handler and I think there might be some more basketball in her future.
I sure do love to watch her play whatever sport she’s playing – and I know GJ does too!
Go Shooting Stars!!
Ballers!
