B-ball update...

Oldest to newest...
Saturday (2/18) No rec game, as we took The Playmaker up to our alma mater to catch a game.

Sunday (2/19) Won the Metro game by one point.  The Playmaker had 2 pts (16 footer straight-on), 1 assist, 2 rebounds.

Monday (2/20) Started the Vacation Week Tournament with a win.  The Playmaker had 4 points, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 rebounds.

Tuesday (2/21) Advanced to the semi-finals with a 20+ point victory.  The Boy had 2 points, 4 assists, 1 rebound, 1 steal.

Today (2/25) The Playmaker played a triple header and won all three games.  In the morning he had 8 points (4-4 shooting), 3 assists and 3 rebounds to help his Metro team advance to the finals of their tournament.  His team then won the championship (and suh-weeeet trophies) by 10 points.  The Playmaker had a quiet game, with 0 points (0-2 shooting), 1 assist, 2 rebounds, 2 steals.  After that game, he had a rec game (which we tried to convince him to skip).  Playing on EMPTY with absolutely no legs, he struggled in the first half, as did the rest of the Grizzlies.  At halftime we ripped him a new one in private, and we then ripped the entire team a collective new one.  We trailed by one with under a minute to play.  We called timeout to set up an in bounds play under the hoop.  We ran The Playmaker off a double pick and freed him up for a little five footer along the left baseline.  He nailed the game winner and then got the defensive rebound at the other end and dribbled out the clock.  The Grizzlies are now 8-2 on the season.

Six games in seven days.

Wow.
