Church basketball

Our Stake started basketball this year for the youth and the adults.  The YW and YM play on Saturday from noon-2:00 (depending on when their games are) and the adults play on Thursday night.  The YW play in the Heritage Building, which has a small court and the YM play at the Stake Center on the full court.

The YW basketball was a flop.  Our ward was the only one that ever showed up so they would end up playing 3 on 3 just to have fun.  So, in reality, our ward won because every other ward would forfeit.  It was sad because we had to be there to set up and get things ready but then no one would show up except for the hour that was for the 9th ward.

Courtney isn't a basketball player but she is a tough cookie because of soccer.  She was rowdy and blocked with the best of them.  She even made quite a few shots.  But she would turn into a dancer and the ball would go straight up and then straight down.  It was hilarious.  The girls had so much fun!

The YM basketball was kind of a flop.  There were 3 wards that had consistent teams toward the end.  I think our ward won because we always had a team but the others would forfeit.  The best game they played was when no one showed up but there were enough leaders/dads to play a "young guys vs old guys" game.  It was a buzzer beater where the old guys ended up winning (I think).  It was so fun to watch them play and Ethan is a good little basketball player.  He had one block that was crazy!  The kid went up, Ethan put out his hand, and you heard a loud "SMACK" as Ethan made contact.  Everyone went "WHOA!".  It was awesome!











You can see how much fun they had....
