Last Basketball Game..

Sydnie sang the National Anthem, as a quartet, they did soo good the best one all year!

Stockton's last jr high basketball game was today. The team has not done as well as they had hoped, they have been in every game but 3, (they got K-I-L-L-E-D!) He has had great experiences, he started some new traditions at Legacy Jr High, he was a GREAT leader, on and off the court. The coach LOVED him and so did his team mates. Some players got mad at him, at times, because he got after them when they didn't take things serious. Most of his team mates had never been on a jr high team before, and they had never played together. He had many disappointments but he wouldn't have changed a thing. For the last game, we bought each of the 9th graders a rose and a giant candy bar to give to their parents and they announced all of them. Stockton started every game, he rarely got taken out, unless he fouled out, he was a critical person on the team. He wasn't the top scorer, but he did other things that helped other players, he was always a TEAM player, never selfish. Sometimes he passed too much..
**12/4/09 They won the coin flip and they are in the playoffs!! Wow, what a shocker! Oh well they made it, but by chance and luck, not necessarily because they were good :) They tried hard though..
