Our favorite thing to do is add more sports to our schedule 🤪! Basketball season is fast and furious and while it adds a bit of complexity to having to drop out of and/or rearrange carpools, we love this season so much! It is where soccer, basketball and soon baseball collide. And dance, volleyball and piano...
Basketball evaluation time!
Clearly not impressed with his height.
But ready to get the season going!
Sam seems a little more impressed with hers.
Thatcher got on our friend Coach Greg's team, the Cavaliers.
And Sam lucked out and got Coach Jules' AGAIN on team Storm! She's had her every year and with it being a draft, we've just been really lucky. The unlucky thing this year though was that the games were the same night as soccer practice so that was hectic yet some fun times in the van with the dual sport girls.
The club soccer girls weren't all on the same team so they'd leave soccer practice as a team and then face each other as opponents on the court.
Coach Greg is one of the most serious and passionate coaches in SB. So extra practices with older club basketball teams in addition to regular practices are expected.
Thatcher vs. Chase. I think Chase has an advantage here. 🤣
It was Lila's first year playing at the Page in second grade. We had to come watch a game.
Bonus, we got to see Harper!
Sam shines in basketball. She doesn't pick up a basketball until evaluations each year and somehow plays for the short season and shocks us all. She does a cute leap as she shoots and sinks threes. When that doesn't happen, she is confused because she is also shocked as to how she is making so many shots. 😂 She just expects it to happen. I love her way of thinking and how aggressive she is on the court.
Ms. Heffernan came to support her students when they played against each other. How cute are the signs she made?!
Dancing Grandma is a fan!
Sam's team made it to the championship game and came up a few points short in overtime but it was such an exciting season! Thatcher's team came in third and did really great too!
The Storm end of season party at The Creekside.
How cool is this gift from one of Sam's teammates?!
We bumped into the refs at the Creekside and gave them a hard time for the second place finish. 😂
I was out of town on Sam's picture day and either the babysitter or Todd or Sam picked out Sam's Storm jersey from first grade. Don't ask why we still have that hanging in the closet. So Sam has on a vintage jersey. 😂
Good thing it still fit her four years later. 🤪
Sam had 72 points for the season and Thatcher had 69! I wish I got more video of Thatcher, but I did get plenty of Sam's leap shots. 😊
