Another Rough Game

While I enjoy witnessing my son achieve success out on the basketball court, I am not overly happy with games that he scores half - or over half - of the team's final points. 

I would much rather have games like this weekend where everyone contributes equally to the success of the team.  

But today, it was not one of those "everyone contributes" games.

It was one of those games where their team had only 8 points at halftime and all 8 of them were scored by Zack.

It's not that they didn't get some good looks at the basket...shots just weren't falling.

But even more frustrating than shots not falling were the 25-30 turnovers they had.  One of their players was responsible for 17 turnovers!

The final score was an ugly 34-17 with Zack scoring 10 and another player scoring 5.  These are truly games that are not fun to watch. 

But I am proud of their sportsmanship and after the game Zack was given a nice compliment by a parent from the other team.  He singled out Zack after the game...complimented him on his playing...but also said he could tell Zack was a very kind person by his actions on the court. 

Two games left!
