Lots of Basketball, Some Art, and Cole is Going to Boston!

The regular season of basketball is winding up.  Cole played JV-A for Lake Region.



 So far, Heather has played on 2 teams.  Below, her Junior Hoops team is runner up in a tournament.
 Heather was voted MVP. Coaches do the voting.
 Heather and I enjoy some art projects, thanks to Joanie! This kit came in the mail with online video instructions.  We'll be real artists in no time!





 We have had no shortage of snow this winter!
 Heather has also played on the Glover Middle School basketball team.  As a 6th grader, she doesn't get as much playing time, but the team is doing really well for the season.

 Wayne and Cole have been doing indoor track.  Wayne has set school records in the 600M and high jump.  They have been doing really well, especially considering they have no specific way to train for indoor track events.  They run outside on the roads and hit the weight room regularly to be in the best shape possible.





 Cole qualified for New England Regional Championships in the 1000M with a time of 2:51. On March 2, he will run at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston.  

Paul, Lesley, and Joanie attended the state championship meet at UVM's Gutterson Athletic Center.  Lesley sent me some of these photos.



Wayne hasn't had a haircut in a long tme.





It didn't look like a spectacular finish. I felt bad that he seemed to be having a bad day.  (He and teammate Cole Royer had fumbled and dropped the baton in the 4x200 relay race, which disqualified them.)  I wondered why Cole seemed so happy with the result of his 1000M race. His coach explained to us that he had qualified for regional championships in Boston. One of only 2 freshman at the VT State Championship meet to do so.  

Heather's Jr Hoops Coach goes over the game plan for their last game of the season.  He instructs Heather and Alyssa, the two 6th graders, not to shoot baskets right away, but to pass the ball to the younger team members who have not scored a basket this season so they could have their chance.

Heather had her last Jr Hoop game today.  Here is a little shot of her last jump ball.  Next year she will be too old for Jr Hoops.
Here she gets a basket.

  1. Hello to all! We loved this post and so enjoyed all the videos & photos.
    I had looked at the track results on-line and seen that their 4-x - 200 had been disqualified so wondered what had happened. But thems the breaks!
    We love Wayne's hair. :-). Way to go all 3 of you! Heather MVP - so impressive. Both my girls said "What is an MVP?"
