WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!

Well this has been a great New Year's Eve so far. Jackson's basketball team was in the MAM Christmas Tournament and today was the Championship game. Our team is called Bolton Thunder and we played Briarcrest Saints. We have played this team once before and beat them by 4 at the end so we knew is was going to be a good, close game. And that it was!!! We were down by 8 in the first quarter but turned it around in the 2nd quarter!! The score from then on out was within 2-4 points each way, if not tied. All of the boys played an EXCELLENT game. It was very exciting, yet very nerve racking because we knew we just had to win. The game was played at such a high intensity and, at times most of the game, it was very aggressive. 4 of the boys on our team have played together the past um-teen seasons and are NOT used to losing and today was no different. Jackson absolutely LOVES the game but he also loves winning the game. If they lose, it is not taken well by him. And even if they win and he doesn't score, it still isn't good enough for him. He likes to score. I know you are probably thinking...the game should really be about having a good time. And that is also true as well but at the end of the game, it is about a W instead of a L. And today, they are CHAMPIONS!!! Here are a few pics from the game...
