Basketball Tournament

Casen is at the age where there is such a wide variety in size amongst the boys. Some have gone through puberty, some are smooth in the middle of it, and others haven't even hit it yet. With him being a June birthday, he generally is one of the youngest (if not the youngest)on his team. Still, he is one of the tallest on his team. As you know, size definitely matters in sports, and I will tell you, some of these teams have boys that must be corn fed! Last week he was matched against a boy at least a head taller than him during the tip off. LOL! Despite having a hard time defending those who are taller, Casen still works hard and plays his heart out.

We had 3 straight days of basketball this past week. On Thursday,  Casen had a home game against Magnolia.

He had extra fans!

On Friday and Saturday, his team played in a tournament that was held in Klein. The boys won one and lost on Friday night. On Saturday morning, they won their first game against their rival, Tomball Junior High and then lost their second game against their other rival, Grand Lakes.

With the basketball tournament, Shane, Casen and I were all a bit bummed we couldn't go to the church student weekend retreat again this year. Instead, Camden was able to enjoy himself at the weekend retreat at Camp Cho-Yeh. We dropped him off at the church Friday night before we headed to watch basketball, and then picked him up Sunday afternoon. Despite coming home exhausted, he had a great time! Good thing we all have off tomorrow for MLK day so everyone can catch up on some sleep!
