Friday Night Hoops

Last night we took the boys to a local high school basketball game. They had a special deal for families with kids who participate in our youth club basketball program... anyone wearing a youth club jersey got in free with a paying adult. We'd never taken the boys to a high school game and it was really fun. We didn't know any of the kids playing, but hey, we don't personally know anyone who plays for our favorite college teams either, but we still enjoy watching.

At half-time two youth club basketball teams scrimmaged and our oldest son knew three of the boys, all of whom are his age. Two of the boys he knows from school and the other one was on his baseball team last year. Anyway, we're watching these young kids and they were really good! In fact, my husband and I looked at one another as if to say, "How come our son's team stinks and these teams are so good?" Honestly, you can't tell me there isn't some recruiting that goes on in this league. These teams were stacked, no doubt. I truly dread when our team plays one of the teams we saw last night! It won't be pretty!
