After last week's basketball craziness, I had been looking forward to a slower week this week, but unfortunately it did not happen. Instead of two practices and one game this week, our coach had an opportunity to enter our freshman team into a junior varsity tournament last minute. Another team had to drop out and there was an opening. Not only would we be playing up, but also this tournament was only one day meaning you played three games pretty much back to back. Tournaments like these I hate because it isn't based on a team's skills. Basically, the winner is just whose team has the most athletic endurance to play at such a high level for such an extended period of time. An added bonus was that we also had a game the night before AND would have to wake up by 4:30am to leave the house by 6:00am, in order to drive the TWO hours there. Hats off to our boys though. We struggled probably a little more than we normally do, but they pulled energy from somewhere and not only played all four games, but won first place at the tournament. This included beating our own jv team! I would hate to be at practice today with the JV coach after his team lost to freshman players! I feel there will be a lot of running in their future.
We also had tickets to go see the NBA G league Texas Legends in Frisco. Apparently, the G league is the NBA minor league. I had no idea before we were given tickets that there was such a thing. We took C, T, and one of T's friends and had such a fun time! The boys even got to meet the players after the game and get pictures and autographs. It was the highlight for them. T even wants to print the picture out to hang in his room.

| When we first arrived, there was a crazy amount of people. It turns out most of them were going to see the Dallas Stars game that was in the same building at the same time. |
 |
| There was a lot less people in our stadium, though it was still busier than D had thought it would be. |
 |
| Our tickets were almost on the floor, which would have been super cool if we hadn't been behind everyone. Free is free though I guess. A even saw us on TV since we were right by the goal. |

| The boys had a blast. My dad was suppose to come and it was an all boys day, but didn't feel up to it and I was super glad he decided that because it would have been really hard to navigate with him. There were so many stairs. |

| T's favorite pic! He said he felt the guy straighten up to take the pic!😂 This was the nicest guy. I saw him stop on his way in at half time to give kids autographs and high fives. |

| He was sitting on a stool. He was nice too, but didn't seem as happy to be there as the other one was. |
This week is just suppose to be two practices. I REALLY hope it stays that way. We need a little break from all the running around!
