This is the first year we got any of the kids in the church's basketball program. With how well they ran the soccer, it was only natural to try A out here to see if his skills are good enough or if he's too good. With two games into the season, I'm speculating that he is far and away the best kid I've seen play. He scored about 18 points the first game that they won't about 40-14, and he scored 16 of the 20 points in the following game that they won 20-18. Sure, I may be biased, but the kid has a sweet stroke, understands the game and where to be, and even his defense is better than average. He can dribble the best on the team, but has no left hand yet. We'll work on that. Here are a few vids of the first game. The first one was of player introductions...make sure to watch until one of the girl teams comes out and realizes it went to the wrong court...hilarious, but they didn't know and their coach didn't help them any. The second video is of the first few minutes of his first game. Listen to how involved the church gets at making this feel like a real game, with the sounds and music! Kudos to Second Baptist for making this such a fun experience for the kids!
