Well the Ladyman's have made it through Hoopfest. It was such a great weekend. Will had a wonderful time, his team was awesome, and the weather was perfect.
The boys won their first two games on Saturday. That was great because they were done playing by 2:00 and they had the whole afternoon to just hang out and enjoy the festivities.
Here are the Jaguars after game 2, another win, 10-8!
The games on Sunday morning, didn't go quite our way. The boys lost the first game 12-10. The second game of the morning was actually the best game they played all weekend. The boys did their best as a team... their best shooting, hustle and defense! Unfortunately they lost in overtime 14-13. I don't even like to say that they lost, they were just short two points... it really was a fantastic game. It was really cool to hear parents and fans from the other team congratulating our boys on playing so well and being such good sports. We were all very proud of them. They were great to watch this weekend, so cool to see how much they have improved and matured as a team.
There are other things to do at Hoopfest besides basketball though... ok well maybe not. Really its just a lot of basketball. But it sure was fun.
We saw Kareem Abdul Jabar... We didn't actually talk to him or anything, just took his picture. Mike told him that he loved his work in "Airplane" :)
Watched a little action at the Nike Center Court. David Pendergraff (former Zag) was playing, Will thought it was pretty neat to watch Pendo play.
Will hung out at the Marine Corp Hummer for a bit. I just hope he didn't enlist...
Will took the vertical leap challenge inside the Nike/Hoopfest store... (he has an 18" jump in case you were wondering. Not too bad for an 8 yo.)
And when that became too much... we took a nap, well Caleb did anyway
We survived Hoopfest '09... can't wait for next year.
Ladyman's Out!
