Tonight marked the final game of Casen's 7th grade basketball season. It has been fun watching he and his team mates play. While they won some and lost some, he was a great contribution to the team. It really has been fun watching him progress as a player and a teammate. Tonight they played against Grand Lakes Junior High (who is ranked first in the district) where some of his previous baseball and flag football teammates play.

After Casen came out from playing, Coach Blackwood took Casen by the shoulders and talked to him for a bit. You could see Coach's passion from the stands and at one point during the conversation he was pointing to Casen's chest. Shane looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, he is talking to Casen about how he plays with heart. After the game, Coach came over to Shane and I as Casen was gathering his belongings and told us what a great kid Casen is and that what he has, you just can't teach and thanked us for being great parents. Wow!!! On our way home, we asked Casen what Coach said to him and he told us that Coach told him that he he played with heart, always leaving everything on the court and that is something you can teach, it is something within. Definitely a proud parent moment!
While he may be done with school sports this school year, we are looking forward to his spring baseball season.
