Congratulations EM Knights Basketball

Congratulations to the EM Knights for earning a spot in the Nebraska C2 Championship game, by beating Winnebago.  The game on Friday night was one for the record books.  We enjoyed watching and cheering for the team.  This article says it all.  WAY TO GO BOYS!

Basketball Fun

This weekend big Brother's team played in their conference championship.  It was a very close high energy game, but the Knights pulled out the win.  Before the game Ben again had fun warming up with the team.  

Thank you to the Dreamer and Hawks families who made the big photo cut out heads of the varsity players from the photos I took for the Booster Club fundraiser .  Ben was so excited to get to hold John's head and cheer for him.  (Only in the pre-game since he does not have enough self control to not smack someone with it during the game)  Sorry for the blurry photos, but he was on the court and I was in the top row with just my phone.  

Ben loves to cheer on his Knights.  He loves it when the band plays and when the cheerleaders lead a crowd cheer during time-outs.  He always encourages those around him to stand up and cheer along.  The Knights are now 19-2 on the year with 2 regular season games left.  Looking forward to the last few games of the season to see how the team goes. 

It's Baseball Season!

Actually it started a couple of weeks ago for Noah as his team as already played 4 games.  They are currently 2 -2  so far.  Of those 4 games I only got to see one.  But luckily, I had my camera at that one game. 

 

Ben has  been working on his hitting too, but sometimes, he gets the equipment and rules a bit mixed up.   While I know that it is important to learn the rules to games, so that socially Ben gets along with his peers better, there are times when I wonder why we all don't try to hit a golf ball off a baseball tee.    It really is kind of fun.  You should try it some time.  It takes skill.

John is playing Legion ball this year and had his first game yesterday in Omaha.  His schedule is pretty aggressive, and will keep us on our toes getting 2 boys to two different cities that are an hour apart, in time to play 6 o'clock games.  Unfortunately on the days when all three have games, Ben might have to miss out.  Not sure how we can be 3 places at one time.  Maybe by game time I will be able to figure it out.
