Titans Basketball

Chance had his second basketball game last night. He was awesome. He is playing for the Norpoint Titans 14U team. He is the smallest one on his team and possibly the youngest. He has boys on his team that are significantly taller than John and he is 6ft.
Their first game they won but Chance didn't play a lot. Last night's game was a different story.
Chance is #2.
The coach giving them a pep talk before the game. Chance started the game as point guard and did a great job of bringing the ball up the court.
Waiting for the rebound.
Looking for the pass.
The boys started off really rocky and quickly were behind by over 15 points.
Chance sat on the bench for a while but when he was put back into the game he was on fire. He was playing great defense and had some awesome blocks and steals.
After Chance was put back in he didn't come out because he was playing so hard. I don't know if you will be able to tell but Chance is the one in the air getting the rebound. He jumped over all the other kids and got it. He is in the far left of this picture.
The boys played so well the second half of the game. If they would have been playing this well the entire time the score would have been a lot different.
Look how small Chance was compared to the other kids. He held his own thoughWe were getting killed so bad that Gunnar started to get bored and asked if he could take some pictures...thanks Gunnar...very flattering.
He also got a shot of Coby and Jemeriquoi.Chance was getting tired near the end of the game because he was running so hard.Here is Jordan, his buddy, preparing for a free throw.The bad news is, we lost. The good news is we didn't lose as bad as we thought we were going to. If one team is up by 25 points they turn the scoreboard off...mercy rule. The scoreboard remained on the entire time. It was iffy there for a while but we were able to even the gap, a little, toward the second half.
Way to go Titans!
You had a great game Chance.

You're such a mom of boys and so good about being into their sports and stuff, I love that about you! I'm afraid of Johnny growing up because I don't like sports at all and I want to like what he does but I don't think I will, lol! I guess I'll learn to like the same stuff my children do though :)

You were so great in your game Chance. I was proud of how hard you hustled. You never gave up and you really motivated your team to keep playing tough. I love watching you play with such an awesome attitude!!!
