Hawkeyes Season

Last Saturday Taylor's basketball team, The Hawkeyes, played a season-ending game in the semi-finals for his league.  They played the undefeated team in the league and they STOMPED all over them.  This was Taylor's first year playing basketball.  It is a 2nd grade league, but they accept 1st graders, so he will play in it again next year as well.   The team started out 0-2 but then came back to win their next 6 games to end the season 6-2.  Taylor is an intense competitor.  Whatever he is doing, he does 110%.  He is obviously not a tall guy (I wish I was a baller)  and doesn't "drive" (yes people I am using an actual basketball term) all that well, so he didn't score a whole lot.  I was actually just proud that he was able to score at all after they moved the baskets up to normal 10ft range.  (can you believe they are making my baby play REAL basketball)  But he was a great defender and played with an intensity that allowed him to be a decent player.  He had fun and loved every minute of practice and games and that is what is important. (sports are all about fun, NOT competition...hahahahaha!)  We ended the season with a pizza party for the kids at the coach's house-the boys are all great friends-many have played baseball together for 2 years also, so it was a GREAT group.  Love you Tay-fun season to watch!
