Basketball team????????



DID I MAKE IT?????

Hey everyone I guess you are probably wondering if I made my schools basketball team, well I am not going to tell you until the end so don't skip ahead! Well tryouts started on Monday and went 'til Wednesday and I didn't care if i made it or not because its a new sport for me and i just barely started so i did my best. On the last day we did our practice as usual we did some drills and then scrimmaged. At the end she made all of us line up in alphabetical order first the eight graders then the seventh she called us out one at a time and when it was my turn i was the first of the seventh graders (why did my last name have to start with a B) any way when i went out she asked me why i thought i deserved to be on the team? I said i have enjoyed being able to try a new sport and i have made a lot of great new friends.(something like that)Then she said...................................................................................................................................................................



(before i tell you take a moment to breath!)


CONGRATULATIONS I WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW!!!!! I MADE THE TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to say that I am the proudest dad in the world right now...Lex only started playing basketball about two months ago...and she has improved drastically. She has such a smooth shot already; she will only get better from here!

She is a born athlete and does all sports so naturally. We are getting geared up for the season to start so we can go cheer her on.

LOVE YOU LEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Go RAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Lex!!

Although I keep tabs on everyone through their blogs every few days, I don't ever comment because I'm supposed to be working, not reading blogs; however I couldn't let this one just pass by.

Like Denise, I think your response to why you should be on the team was awesome.

Congratulations for a job well done and good luck to you and your team!!
