Blake had the absolutely best basketball season this year with the Pirates. He averaged about 4 points per game and played excellent defense. It is like basketball just started to come naturally to him! He also was part of a great team - the kids just played really well together and they had a lot of talent on their team.
They made it to the Championship game for the tournament and had to face the only team they lost to (by 1 point). Sadly they lost to that team again and it was a tough loss. That team was just a smidge better. Of course the loss was tough on the boys... they are that age... BUT we took it as a learning moment!
I tried to remind Blake how FAR they had come and all that they had learned a long the way... and that was the true win!! I am grateful that Blake had all of these sportsmanship lessons this season because I know that it is shaping him into the young man I want him to be. We are so proud of him!
Sidenote: Kinsley made it to the Championship Game but it was right in the middle of her nap time...so she sacked out in the middle of it. Haha.
