We love the first part of the year because it means Basketball Season is finally here! If you know anything about our family, you know how much we love basketball. This year, Jeremiah was able to coach Zach's team and it was so fun to have the two of them working together.
I loved looking down on the sidelines and seeing them standing together either talking or watching the game.
Zach is just like his dad - he can hardly get enough basketball. He was so into it this year, it was fun to watch. He has really come a long way in his skills and abilities on the court.
He loves to pass in the ball, something that just makes me laugh. You'd think he'd like to have it passed into him more, but he tells me that's not the case. I was really proud of him though, he would always try to make sure he passed it to everyone so that everyone got a turn bringing the ball down the court.
He was really quick up and down the court too - at the end of almost every game, he would be drenched in sweat - a sure sign of how much running he was doing!
He was one of the tallest on our team and most of the other teams, so he was able to catch a lot of rebounds. He's also not afraid to get in there and fight for the ball.
A couple of teams had some better players and it seemed they almost always put them on Zach to guard - they knew he was a good player and wanted to try to keep him in check. Sometimes it worked, but most times it didn't. He kept moving around and those defenders spent most of the game trying to keep up with him.
He scored quite a few points this season. I lost track after the first couple of games, but in the first game alone he scored 7 baskets!
He is just looking so grown up, I can't believe my little boy will be turning 10 this year - he isn't so little anymore!
I had to include a picture of the two others rooting their brother on from the stands. Every game, Tate would talk and talk about how he was going to play basketball just like his brother when he grows up.
Well, another season is done and we had a wonderful time watching and cheering from the sidelines. Way to go Zach, we sure are proud of you!
