The Playmaker won his fifth consecutive rec game last Saturday. We are now in second place with a 5-2 record. He scored 12 points, to go with 5 rebounds and 2 assists. He shot the ball well, going 5-8 from the floor and 2-2 from the foul line. A bit of controversy, however, as the other coach chose to enforce EVERY rule in the rule book. We did not even know it was possible to foul out of a rec game. Yet with under a minute to play in sixth quarter (we play a total of eight), he proudly announced that Our Son had four fouls. During a stop in play, we called The Playmaker over and explained the situation and switched him off of the other team's best player. We also told him to, "Play smart." Of course, the next time down on defense he got caught reaching in and picked up his fifth foul of the game. At that point, we ripped him a new one on the sideline for doing exactly what we told him not to do. Of course, most (though certainly not all) of our anger was on account of the douche bag coach at the other end of the court. Anyway, with The Playmaker sitting on the bench for the final quarter, we won 31-22. In your face, Walnut Heights!
On Sunday, his Metro team won its fourth game in a row to reach the .500 mark (4-4). For the second game in a row The Playmaker started at the 2. Also for the second game in a row, he scored the first hoop of the game. This time it was a 7 footer along the left baseline on the first possession of the game. Overall, he had 3 (1-3 shooting) points, 2 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals.
