Coach Dad Wins One - Off Topic

My 2 children are playing basketball together on a team this year.  Kirsten played last year and played really well last year (leading scorer on her team, if I remember correctly), but her team didn't win any games last year.  As a result, we brought in a tough, hard nosed free agent from the playgrounds of Knoxville named Bradley (McClure).  His job was to do the things necessary to insure one victory this year.  He has completed his task as we won on Saturday 25-8.  I have posted some video clips that show their stellar play.

BTW, I am Coach Wally.  Our whole team played well and I was very happy the result.  To be honest, I was surprised at the outcome.  I looked at the other team before the game, and I think that they had the 3 tallest players on the court.  With kids in the Second and Third Grades, the game turns into running up and down the court and seeing who can make the most layups.  The ability to pass the ball is somewhat limited.  As a result, having agressive guards is very important. 

I was very happy with the way that my children acted after the game.  They have some friends from school and Girl Scouts on the other team and they had fun and pictures after the game and didn't say a word.

Here are some links to the videos that we made.
