Kenzie has never shown an interest in basketball, breaking Cindy's heart, year after year. However, because her soccer coach and her soccer friends were all going to be on one team, Kenzie opted in this year. Yesterday, when the first game started, so did Cindy's tears. Through the whole game Kenzie's face was smiling and she has tough defense...she isn't afraid of getting in there.
Mason is again with his basketball buddies and is a maniac on the court. This is the first year that we noticed that he's taller than his teammates. He truly loves the game. He tries to get every inbound play and then have the receiver pass it right back to him. If he had the ball all the time it wouldn't be enough. Let's not call him a ball hog just yet. Actually one of the other moms suggested the nickname of Bulldozer, perhaps due to the number of other kids who wound up on the floor in his wake. Yes he is a little bit lazy on the dribbling.
I see a skills clinic in our near future. Coach Bolam?
