Another Good Day on the Court

The middle school team won again!!! They are 2 -2. They could easily be 4-0, but we won't go there. The team is really coming together. Keith is doing a great job as coach. Keion isn't getting a ton of minutes but he makes an impact everytime he is in. He is consistently rebounding and playing tough, aggressive defense. One more game before Christmas break. It will be the first home game.

We Won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keith and the boys won their first game of the season. It seemed like everything clicked and the boys did everything that Keith had been coaching them to do. The team they beat was last years championship team and was undefeated all last year and so far this year. Our team won 54 to 35. It was a beautiful game to watch. We are hoping to get some more wins this upcoming week.

Another rough day on the court

Keith and Keion had their second middle school basketball game. It was another rough one, in that the team lost by a few points to a team that they could have beaten. Unfortunately, the top scorer for the team was not available for the game. We are confident that Keith and the boys will get their first win soon.

First TMS b-ball game

Well, we had our first basketball game at the middle school with Keith coaching and Keion on the team. Unfortunately, it ended in a loss in overtime. The boys led basically the entire game until the end and lost 42-40. We are all hoping for a win next time.

We're back!

Hey it's me, Keion. I just wanted to give you an update on what has been going on. Football season is officially over. Kendrick's team had an excellent season and went 6-2. Kendrick did a great job and won the Most Improved Player award. As for me, we had a perfect season, 0-6. [Which means 0 wins and 6 losses :)] Well, I'm putting that all behind and moving on to play basketball. Kendrick will be starting soon too.

Kendrick's birthday

We celebrated Kendrick's 8th birthday on Wed. He was able to pick out which restaurant he wanted to have his dinner at, and surprising picked Carlos O'Kelley's Mexican Restaurant. I think he only picked it for the tortilla chips, especially since he ordered a burger. He wanted us to make sure that we got the staff to sing "Happy Birthday" to him. The picture shows him wearing a sombrero while he is serenaded.

Keion makes the football team

We are so happy for Keion! He made the football team for his middle school. We are most proud of him, because after not making it last year he didn't give up but rather made it a goal and worked hard for months toward meeting that goal. This summer he ran, he bought and read a book about how to play FB, he lifted weights, he stretched, he watched video clips on the internet for pointers, and went to camp all in order to reach his goal. So, you can imagine how proud we are of him. Now we are praying that he has a fun and injury free season.
