Oh yes....they did work!
Today was such a longgggg day. Since we lost on Fri. we didn't play until 2===so thank goodness or we would have had to be there in the morning. Our game at 2 went very well and led to our next game at 7pm, which we also won, so we had to stay for the 3rd place championship game. Which we won as well! The boys were so happy...this is the summer league and so it really was their first game together. Some of the boys played in the short winter league that just ended, but this was the first game for this group. It's fun to watch a team just make sure that everyone is in on the action and play as a team. It reminds me a lot of how SFIU and Troy's philosophy was...each individual works as a unit and that is what drives the success of the team. Marlon really coaches so that there are no stars. From our tallest boy at 5'10 (oh yes, Tyree is a giant...lol) to our shortest boy at 4'6 (Lamar makes Izzy look like a giant!)....each boy is involved in the action. It's so much fun to watch! Here are some pics from today.
Elijah makes a great block on a throw in.

Our speedy lil Lamar and Isaiah battle it out.
Oh my silly Elijah---forever the goofball!!
