Sac Town Shoot-out Champions!

This past weekend, Joshua and his 4th grade YBA Dawgs AAU team participated in the "Sac Town Shootout Tournament". They went 3-0 for the second weekend in a row. It was a hard fighting, exciting weekend of games. In the championship game on Sunday, the team went into over time and won the game by 3 points. Even with the terrible refs who were making terrible calls throughout the whole game, Coach Lance kept his calm, respectable nature as always. I can't say the same for the opponent's coach. Talk about competitive! During our freethrows, the parents and the head coach of the team were yelling out trying to distract our free throw shooter. Even with the poor sportsmanship that they displayed, our shooter hit 4 out of 5 freethrows. My goodness, this isn't the NBA. You usually don't see that type of behavior at this level, afterall these are 9 and 10 year olds!

In the 4th quarter of the championship game, we were down by a point. Joshua hit an amazing 3 point shot under pressure and gave our team the lead!! Because of that shot, the Dawgs were once again fired up. The crowd and the players on the bench went wild!! It was thrilling to say the least.

The boys definitely played hard. Great job Dawgs, Coach Lance, and Coach Jim! Next up, the "qualifier" tournament! Wish us luck!

Jayden's Broadway Musical

Based on the title I bet you thought this was an April's Fools Day entry. Nope, it's an entry based on a real event of Jayden's! Last month, the first graders put on a broadway show. The boys were dressed in top hats, bowties, and tuxedos w/tails! The girls were all dolled up in pretty dresses, boas, gloves, and jewels! It was absolutely adorable. The program consisted of the 1st graders singing a medley of broadway classics like, "Hello Dolly", "There's No Business Like Show Business", "Hey Look Me Over", "Consider Yourself At Home", and so on. Jayden was proud to be in his top hat and tails and for weeks during bath time, we'd hear him practicing his broadway songs! It was an outstanding production by the Foskett 1st grade classes! Here are a couple of video clips from the show. The first clip featured "the boys song". After that performance you'll see Jayden walk across the stage as he was given the duty of a sign carrier. Just scroll down below...there you will find two video clips. Enjoy!
