Today was a HUGE day for Alex (us to but the spotlight should be on him). The 3rd Annual Kimball Classic Bball Tourney. It's for the 5/6 year old division of YBL at the Merrimack Valley Y. Kids form all 3 Y's play each other and we give out Walt Kimball Sportsmanship Awards to one kid per team. This is Alex's 3rd year playing (he started when he was 4 ssshhh don't tell anyone). So it's his last year playing int he tourney.
He's definitely progressed and he's awesome at defense. He's made shots at the basket every game and they always seem to roll around the rim and fall off, not going in. Not today, because as Frank Kenneally told me the Kimball Classic is magic. Kids get their first basket here all the time. And today it happened. Alex got a basket. The crowd was on their feet and screaming. I had a tear in my eye I was so proud of him! Everyone knew he'd been trying so hard and the best part is it's all on tape. So I will be showing you all the highlight video!
Here's some pics.
