Daniel and David

David played up a couple years because of his size and athleticism.  After tryouts, both boys ended up on the same team.  We could sure get used to the idea of taking both kids to the same practices and the same games!  Not only that, but they also played very well and won their league.  They were undefeated until the last game (Daniel missed the last game to play a soccer game; the basketball team had already clinched first place).

During the course of the season, individual and team progress was very apparent.  Both of our boys learned to see the court and pass the ball well, and they were relentless on defense.  They also learned to make shots.  Early on, almost all shots were an adventure; but by the end of the season, lay-ups were a sure thing and other field goals had a good chance of going in!  We had a lot of fun watching and cheering on the whole team.  Special thanks to the coaches for keeping the kids well grounded and emphasizing sportsmanship and teamwork.

We were disappointed with most of the pictures, but you can see the best of them by clicking the one above.  We also put together a 3-minute montage of video highlights, below.  David is number 11; Daniel is number 15 (and left-handed).
