(Jr.) Celtics Took 2nd Place!

Last Saturday, Jayden's 1st/2nd grade competitive basketball team took 2nd place in their final championship game of the season. It was a close game against the Jr. Eagles who all season long remained undefeated. Jayden's team lost to the Jr. Eagles twice in the regular season. The Jr. Celtics fought hard, played hard and did extremely well! They played their best game yet. The final score was 20-21. Although they didn't get the win, they were still winners and should be very proud of their accomplishment. Afterall, the Jr. Eagles team's roster consisted of all 2nd graders. Our team were mostly 1st graders (with the exception of 4 2nd graders).

This was Jayden's first season playing competitively and he did great! Although he didn't score in double digits like he used to in non-competitive, he did handle the season well. His ball-handling was great, shooting on point, rebounding was impressive even though he was the tiniest guy out there, and not once did he ever travel, double dribble or double team. We're very proud of his accomplishment! Great job to Jayden and his team!
