Basketball is NOT Over

The regular season is over, but the tournaments are never ending. Over February break the Newport Rotary holds a huge tournament at North Country High School.  Below, Glover plays against a combined team of Brownington, Orleans, and St. Paul's. Glover wins.
Jeanne was foot loose and fancy free with Peter away at camp all weekend so she came to take in a couple of Wayne and Cole's games during this tournament.  She took this (above) photo with her  phone. Good thing she did because I got a new (old) camera (dslr) and have yet to learn how to use it. 



The next day, another game, this one against North Country. 


 Wayne gets a break and Cole waits to go in.


Glover lost this game and was eliminated from the tournament. There is another tournament next weekend put on by the St. J  Rotary and there is also the Jr. Hoop tournament at LR for Cole and Heather's younger league. I'm not sure how Cole will manage to play in both tournaments in the same weekend. Furthermore, the Glover 8th grade is responsible for making and selling concessions at the Jr. Hoops tourney, so Wayne will also need to be in 2 places at once. Cloning device anyone?

Meanwhile, a little outside time is always welcome.

  1. So glad that Jeanne got to keep you company at the basketball tournaments, Darlene!

    Fun to see pictures of both boys playing ball. I noticed that Wayne has a green uniform on for the first game and then a white uniform the next day!

    Heather looks like she is enjoying her vacation! Hope you are, too!

  2. Their basketball uniforms are reversible - green on one side for "away" games and white on the other for "home" games, although in a tournament it might be that neither team is truly "home." The uniforms are new this year and cost thousands of dollars for boys and girls teams combined. A long letter with VERY strict care instructions came home with them. I make them change immediately after every game.
