Church Basketball

Jake has been playing church basketball the last couple months and last night was the first night of play-offs. There was a different atmousphere in the Stake Center last night. Tempers were going off a little more that usually but everyone kept their cool and had good sportsmanship. They won their first game but lost by a few points in their second game. They play next week to see if they get to go to regionals. Jake did good, even if he says he could have shot better. He loves being down low with 2-4 guys on him and going up for a shot. He is happy if it goes in and happy if he is fouled because he loves to shoot free-throws. He has a pretty awesome 3-point shot too. In the second game, one of the gaurds kept trying to push him around so in the last 20 seconds of the game, the guard had the ball and Jake was all over him. He said he didn't care if he fouled him, he just wasn't going to let him pass the ball. The guard couldn't pass the ball, but I think they finally called the foul on Jake. We have a lot of fun watching Jake play. If Jake is sitting out, Kinley will go and sit next to him on the stage. It is the cutest thing! Kinley says she is going to play basketball when she gets big. At the games, the cheering usually sounds like this, "GO DADDY!" from all the little kids.
