tournament fun begins

this weekend brought ben's first basketball tournament

with this being the first year of traveling
we had no idea what to expect
but the boys did fantastic!

 

 

 

 

they won the first game 30-14

 

 

 

 

 

 

and won the 2nd game 29-3
which put us in the championship game against irondale
bright and early sunday morning

let me just say
that irondale must be putting something special
in their school lunches
because their kids were HUGE

sam is our tallest player
and you can see how he compares ...

that meant ben
didn't have a chance ;)

it didn't keep him from trying

 

and eventually
 he did find a way to sneak under their arms
and grab us a few points
BUT
in the end
we still came up short
and lost

we took 2nd place overall
and for our very first tournament
i'd say that's mighty fine!

way to go blaine 4A!

AND
nice job, ben!
