Turkey & Basketball

I know, our life really does revolve around Basketball. We had a great Thanksgiving on Thursday and followed it up with 3 straight days of Basketball. Both of BJ's teams were playing, ECBA & Bothell. So he played 7 games in the span of 3 days.

Of course, the story line is ECBA & Bothell and of about 18 teams in the 5th grade division, who was the first matchup? Yep, you guessed it Bothell Vs. ECBA. Who did B play for? It was the last weekend for ECBA until Spring so he finished out his commitment for ECBA and played against Bothell in the first game. It was pretty interesting and BJ was very nervous but played well & very tough.

ECBA won the game, but that would be the only game of the tournament ECBA would win. Bothell went on to win their next 3 with BJ getting the majority of his playing time in the last game. Over 3 games with Bothell the kid had 30 points, 3 steals and I don't even know how many rebounds & jump balls. We were so proud of how he played for both teams. 7 games in 3 days is alot to ask of one fifth grader. Well done B!
