Knox's basketball update

Game 1: We played the team that was hardest for us to beat in the regular season (going into overtime and winning by 3 points in that game!) but we won after a good game!

Knox wanted to win SO bad and he was amazing! This is what Jesse posted on his Facebook: "Knox won almost single handedly with a great fast break jump stop, fake and bank shot. 4 for 4 at the line for some clutch free throws. Got almost every rebound and loose ball. Hit the floor about 6 times. Made 2 amazing passes for baskets." It was a great victory and all the parents wanted to beat this team due to poor sportsmanship on their coaches part. The stomped their feet and cussed when we beat them the 1st time. Seriously!

Game 2: We had already played this team and beat them in regular season. It was a close game, though. But we lost to them by 6 points. Saddest thing ever! Seeing my big boy in tears was awful. His grandpa offered to buy him ice cream and he refused. (His brothers took him up on the offer and Knox didn't even change his mind while watching them eat...he was too sad)

Not sure what happened. Shots went in and popped out. The ref was horrible (I've never said that but he was! ALL the parents were confused and irritated by his calls AND he had a hurt knee so he limped around slowly, running time out. It was bizarre!) Our team seemed sluggish and when we were down 4 points at the half, it was like they gave up. And this other team was really good, had some great passes and some great shots. It was their day.

The ONE game they lose all season and it's the championship....that’s how it goes sometimes.

Still sad though. I think Knox is finally over it but the awards banquet next weekend will be tough as they watch that team get their trophies....

How am I going to get through high school sports?!?!? This losing part is TOUGH!
