Basketball Season

Basketball season is underway and we are now on week 3. The boys have had some good games and have improved a ton since last year. They are on seperate teams but we are lucky enough with the schedule that we don't have any games at the same time. I think it's good for them to be seperated every once in a while but now that they are forced to be seperated in basketball it doesn't really work. Wesley goes to Derek's practices, Derek goes to Wesley's practices and they both sit on each others bench during the games. In today's games they both scored 16 points. In the last 3 minutes of Wesley's game his coach told them that they could start shooting 3's. They were beating the team pretty bad so I think that the coach thought this would keep our team from scoring. Then one of the coaches in the last minute said he would give one of them $5 if they made a 3 so of course Wesley was going to try for it and he made it. After the game Derek couldn't let Wesley out do him so he asked Wesley's coach how much he would give him if he made a 3. The coach told him $1 and that was better than nothing so away Derek went and made it. It is a lot of fun to watch them cheer for each other and challenge each other to do better.
