Basketball for Kory and Trey!

Once football ended for Tyler and Kyle basketball started for Kory and Trey!  It was the first time either of them had played on a team and we learned a lot about both of them. 

Trey's season started first.  He plays on a team with three other boys from our ward which was nice. He learned a lot about himself.  His first game he was ready to go out and rock the game, but within a few minutes he had traveled and gotten a foul called on him and he kinda froze.  As  a mom it was so hard to watch.  I saw the fun zapped right out of the game.  He was holding back tears.  They lost their first game and at the end he lost it.  Tears streamed down his face.  My heart broke.  He also didn't score any points which didn't help. 

The second game Trey could hardly even play!  He spent the game biting his nails. His nerves just got to him.  But he did make a free throw which was a plus. 

Came to dad for a pep talk!

Game three the team won!!  The smiles were huge!!

Makai was excited for his brother!!  

It was the only game they won all season!  Trey struggled with some anxiety, but learned and grew from the experience.  He is excited to play again this winter.  He did reach his goal of making 20 points during the season.

Kory started play basketball for the first time this year.  He made the C team which was good because all his games were home games and he played with a lot of his friends.  

Low five!  Kory enjoyed his team-mates and even the other team-mates.  Often after the game everyone would just laugh and talk about everyone's good plays.  It was a good experience for him.  

Kory had fun on the court.  They won most of their games and got second place in the final tournament.  It was great to see them learn from game to game.  Kory had a few amazing shots.  

Trey was excited after Kory's first win!!
