Alaska Hoops

Tess was on fire at her game last night. I should probably start keeping track of her stats. She made at least 9 points last night including 3 of her 4 free throw shots and the first 2-point shot of the game. She is really becoming quite the good player and is a lot of fun to watch. She has a nice smooth style about her play and a decent vertical leap. During the course of the game she took an elbow to the jaw and got scratched on the other side of her jaw. The score remained close throughout the game with her team falling short by about 8 points in the end. But not for lack of effort on her part. I was very proud.

Donald also had a game last night. His was Away at Bartlett HS in Anchorage. Stephen went to that one. Apparently, they trounced Bartlett and Donald made his first 6 points of the season. Aside from the wide gap in score, it was a really good game. Donald has a good stature for basketball and his coordination has vastly improved since the rapid growth spurt of the middle school years. He just needs to work on his aggressive play skills and get in there. I was glad to hear he made some points last night. And I know he was proud of that as well.
