What an exciting day for the Sunshine Boy! He is now in 7th grade and plays on a basketball team in the Cities. His team played today for the championship. They lost their first game (missing one of their top players who was hurt) and then played in the consolation game for 3rd place. DH and I drove over for that game. These games have 8 5 minute periods and in the 7th period SB's team (The Panthers) were behind by 12 points.
They made a huge run in the last period and were tied with only 7 seconds left. They had the ball at the far end line, made two passes, and SB caught the second pass. Everyone was hollering hold it (they were hoping for overtime) but SB decided to shoot from a distance. The ball hit the rim, popped up, came down, rolled a little around the rim and went in for the win with 4 seconds left! SB was so excited he actually had tears at the end of the game. They didn't get a trophy but did get a medal and all were quite happy. Needless to say, it was pretty exciting!
The regular season is over but SB was picked a couple of weeks ago to be on an allstar team which will be playing in a tournament in a couple of weeks. He is really happy.
