Sports

This past week marked the end of the first sports season for the boys. It was a good one!

Adam's basketball team competed in the district finals. They won their game Monday and moved on to Tuesday's game. Although they lost Tuesday and didn't advance to the final, they did a great job. His school's 7th grade team did go on to win their title. We're really proud of Adam's dedication to basketball this year and are so glad he did well. He has a lot of heart and I'm sure he'll miss playing, although he's very happy that 6:30 am practices are over! He has joined the cross country running team to try to get into better condition. Good luck, Adam! We're so proud of you!

Jeremy participated in the state swim meet at ASU on Friday and Saturday. He was the only member of his high school swim team to make the finals in an individual event. Way to go, Jeremy! Two relay teams also made the finals, so Jeremy swam in three events. We're really proud of Jeremy and his swim season. He was co-captain of the boys' team for a second year and went to states for the second year in a row...and he's only a sophomore! We're looking forward to next year already. Jeremy is looking forward to some rest...

This is one of Jeremy's favorite ways to relax. He took his guitar to the pool and entertained his friends and relaxed by playing songs.

Austin is in 6th grade and there are fewer sports available to 6th graders. He could have played soccer but that's not really his game. He wants to join Adam in cross country, so it looks like the second sports season will be a busy one, too.

We're really happy that our boys want to get involved in sports. They have to keep up their grades to play, they make new friends, and they get some much-needed exercise while having fun.
