I posted earlier about Spencer’s OTM basketball team but didn’t have a great team picture. Well, they had their team party on Saturday and look what I got…
a team picture! Love this team. Go Magic!
Basketball fun
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!
MB Magic
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!!
Robotics
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!
The mighty ducks
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!!
