We actually had fun Super Bowl plans. One of the families on Spencer’s baseball team invited everyone over to watch the game. A fun night!
It’s almost baseball season!
School stuff
Samantha and her group with some landform project…no clue about the project but cute pic!
Spencer doing some kind of science project…
and Maxwell’s recent masterpieces from his art class. I’m impressed!
Rolling through second semester…is it summer yet?!
Gonzaga
Spencer’s rec basketball season with “Gonzaga” sure was fun to watch! It really was “Spencer’s team” and they all played so well together. Spencer played point and was a great leader on the court.
I did terrible taking photos and never even got a full team photos! He did have some buddies on his team including Fred and Mac. He also had Hardy, William, Luke and Whitfield. Robert was the assistant coach along with Fred’s dad.
They made it to the second round of the playoffs where they lost their game by 1 point. Major bummer. We were missing William that night and I think that was a difference maker. Regardless, it was a great season and watching Spencer is just the best. He’s a fantastic defensive player, a smart offensive player, and a great 3 point and free throw shooter! He’s definitely a baller!
8th grade basketball
Maxwell played rec basketball again this year and it was fun. The 8th and 9th graders are on teams together and they’re coached by high schoolers. Maxwell had two of his best friends, Jack and Towns, on his team so that made it fun.
Maxwell played great each game and even made at least 3 buzzer beaters during the season! Baller! They ended the season 5-5 and unfortunately lost in the first round of the playoffs in overtime. Bummer.
But, a fun time and a good season!
Highlighter Hoopers
Samantha had an awesome rec basketball season with the very best coach in the league – Robert!
The Highlighter Hoopers made a pretty good showing with an overall record of 4 and 6. Many of those 6 games were super close and only lost by 1 basket. Samantha played point all season and did a great job handling the ball and passing it off. She’s also a sure shot at free throws!! I love to watch her play because she always brings the hustle and plays so aggressively. It’s fun to see her out there!
I did have to coach their final regular season game. I didn’t bring home the W – we lost 6 to 8 – but I think I did ok…not as good as Robert but ok.
We got knocked out by the Pickles in the first round of the playoffs unfortunately. It was a great game though – the Highlighters were down 5 to 14 at one point and made quite a comeback to only lose 11 to 14. Proud of those girls!
Go Highlighter Hoopers!
