Chad decided that he wanted to participate in the parish's basketball league this year. This is his first experience with organized sports and has been practicing with his coach and team of 13 and 14 year old's for the past several weeks. At this age, hormones have kicked in for some of the boys, so the heights of the boys range from about 5' 5" to 6'. Chad is on the lower end of that range so he plays at the top of the key on offense while the taller boys play in the spots closer to the basket.
His team, the 76ers, had their first game on Saturday. Chad was a little nervous but excited to finally put his skills into action. It turned out to be an exciting game with a only a few points separating both teams for most of the game. Even Evan was into the game and watching every call made by the officials.
In the end, his team was down by one point with .2 of a second left on the clock. It wasn't enough time for them to get a shot in, but they made a good effort and all gave 100%. Way to go 76ers!

What a close game!
