Basketball 2015

Jackson had an amazing basketball season this year.  His team was 4-4, which was not awesome, but he was the leading scorer on his team, by quite a bit. He had several 20 point games and his lowest scoring game was 8 points.  

He really improved so much from last year.  He thinks that getting contact lenses made all the difference.  He was able to see well and not worry about glasses flying off of his face.

Jack was one of the smaller kids in the league, and he was our point guard.

He really became the leader of the team on the court.  He could often be heard directing players and setting up plays.  It was so fun to watch him develop that ability this year.

All of these boys live within a mile of us and they are great kids.  We joke that Jack and his best friend Chance (#5) are going to play in the NBA one day and be like Stockton and Malone!

My favorite game of the year was one that we won 32-30. We only had 5 players there that day so they all had to play the entire game, while the other team had 9 players.  Our boys played so hard.  Jackson scored 20 of our points and assisted in several others.  The weight of the game really rested on him in that last quarter and he was so amazing.  He shot from the outside, he laid the ball up and he made some excellent passes.
