Nick's basketball season finale

Here is Nick...this is too blurry!
Ted as an assistant coach and loved being part of the Raptors this year.
Nick had his best year so far in any sport, as he has improved so much, he was able to greatly contribute the team's success: he made almost half of his teams' points this season!
He got a hoop for Christmas and shoots every day. He has improved so much since 2 seasons ago when he started playing basketball. He is the little guy who has a lot of moves and moves real quick in and out of the other players. He loves basketball! He watches any team on TV and gets into every game, even if he has never seen that team play.
We were so proud of this: One team member was awarded the Sportsmanship Award for always being respectful on and off the court, for fair play, for kindness, for not losing his cool. We had that deep feeling of happiness that comes when kids make great choices. We are so proud of Nick, but more than that we feel blessed to have a child like him who is often (not always) all of those things.
Trophy time!
We all went to the one (of 4 places) to eat in Haslet, Mr. Jim's Pizza, for our team party. The kids had a great season, in spite of losing more games than they won, they all really worked hard, put up a good fight, and improved in the game.
