Basketball Champions!!!

Well the good thing about having sick kids is that you get caught up on your blog..... So last week Ben's basketball team, the Clippers, won the championship game! They were undefeated all season and then went on to sweep the play-offs. Quite a different experience from last year when his team only won one game the whole season.

Ryan wasn't supposed to be the head coach, but the original coach called him and said he wasn't going to be able to do it and could Ryan step in? Of course he said yes and inherited a great team. There were a few kids who had no clue how to play basketball and some who were already pretty good. In the end, they all got better and almost everyone scored at least once during the season.

Ben was given the Best Defensive player of the league. I don't know if that was true, but his defense in the Championship game was awesome. He also went from being the kid who almost always took the ball and scored to being the assist man. He developed the ability to see the whole court and pass it to the right guy who could score. It was so fun to watch him play and he had a great time.
