Wrapping Up Basketball

Due to the computer problems, I'll be wrapping up Trevor's last three basketball games in this one post. The lost to Washington on the first game (they're undefeated the last two years), they won a thrilling OT contest with Ojibwe, then lost to them in the first round of the playoffs the following week when Papa was up to watch. Trevor really played well those last few games, and has gotten so much better this season. He scored some points, and really used his size for rebounding and passing. He plans on playing next season in sixth grade, too.

Globetrotters Spin Magic In The Sault

Wow, I don't know where to begin. The kids and I all had such a great time, and I'm not sure which of us was more excited. To start the game, Lily and Trevor went out on the court and played musical chairs with the Globetrotters' mascot, Globie(pictured). They had a lot of fun with that. When the game started, we were all amazed at tricks and skills that the 'Trotters were doing on the court. Lily was expecially impressed with what was going on. In the third quarter, Trevor got to go back onto the court and try to steal the basketball from one of the Globetrotters with three other kids(video above). This time, Trevor came away victorious and won an autographed ball by the team. After the game they were also able to meet members of the team and get autographs and pictures. The whole game was non-stop fun and action. They are already wanted to see them again if they come to the area. The Globetrotters won the game 76-72 over the Washington Generals.
