Josh's 8th grade basketball team had their first game today. They played Malad. I got there in time for the last quarter & half of the 7th grade game. The Snake River 7th grade team won their game & then we were on to Josh's game! Of course, I took photos....
This is the two teams before the game, in the last minute huddles. Josh's team is in the white & purple.
Josh is the taller one standing in the middle
This is Josh being tutored by Coach Carter after he got pulled out of the game at one point. I asked Josh after the game what he was talking to him about & he said that Coach was explaining to him some points of a play he hadn't been doing right. These kids really like Coach Carter & seem to be really responding to him.
During half time, the cheerleaders did a very nice dance.
The Panthers(Josh's team) won the game 35-26. They did very well, especially considering it was their first game & they've only been practicing for about a week & a half. I would expect that they'll only continue to improve & play even better as a team. Game #2 is tomorrow, so hopefully there'll be another great report!
