Basketball

Basketball started for both Teagan and Braeden yesterday.  Teagan's game was first.  She is on a team with one other little girl and nine little boys.  They are all Kindergarten and first grade.  Teagan was good at returning to her position to play defense (although she didn't understand that she could move from that spot).  She definitely played to her own soundtrack, frequently breaking into a little dance on the court!

Teagan is number 12.

Teagan says:

I played basketball.  I was the grey team.  The exciting part was that on the first game, the grey team WON (16-4).

Braeden is on the red team with other second and third graders.  His team is all boys.  Braeden has really improved from last year!  He had quite a few rebounds and was great at passing.    It was difficult to get pictures of him because he was surrounded so quickly by other players.

Braeden says:  We were winning 12-6 in the beginning but then the Orange team got a lot of baskets and caught up.  They got 4 more baskets and we got 2 more and then they got one more basket to win.  The final score was 16-14.  I was sweating a lot when I finished.  I have a good team this year.  We are good about passing and dribbling.  One person on my team steals the ball most of the time and passes it to another player on the red team.  I am number 9.  My shirt says Coca-Cola of Cape Cod on the back.
