The Nets Fall One Point Short...

...but are all still winners in our books!

Basketball Season is the GRIND - I don't care what anyone says!  The season is long. It's winter and very cold.  It gets dark early.  It's HARD!  If you're weak, you won't survive, especially at the middle/high school levels.  It's just as taxing on us parents who are taking kids to practice, picking them up, arranging for transportation when kids have games on the same nights, eating concession food for dinner, leaving the house at 6:45 AM and not getting home until 9:00 PM, making sure homework is done, jerseys/socks/sports bras are clean and laundered, and the list goes on and on.  You love it and hate it!  I felt the exact same way as my kids do when I played, but both Miles and Karson continue to press on and work hard.

Miles D2 season came to an end last night losing in the Championship game by one point to the Rockets.  We made it passed three teams, one of the teams being the #1 Seed in the tournament  and undefeated- which was a BIG win for us with a last second three-pointer.  Miles is quite the ball player scoring 23 in the semi-final game and 15 in last night's game. Both teams started face guarding him or he probably would've scored more.  He's small but mighty.

Small but not mighty enough to win the tip over this young man =/!

It was a great season, and I have to admit, I'm sad seeing it come to an end.  Karson has another week of games before the district tournament begins.  I was telling Matt last night that I think it's really cool that all three of our kids made it to the Championship game(s).  Karson and the Spartans won the Gold Bracket Championship game in 2015.  Isaac and the Thunder fell short and came in 2nd in 2017.  Miles followed suit with The Nets.  Very, very cool that they all made it to the final game though =).

We have a pretty great army of Miles supporters and fans!  Up next...Middle School ball??  Stay tuned.
