Special Olympics basketball today
« on: April 07, 2018, 09:18:26 pm »
My grandson Logan is coaching Special Olympics and they have a tournament this weekend. Had a close first game but got their first win in the second game. My wife asked him after the game what was better, a win when he is playing or the win today, he said the win today hands down. He's a pretty good nearly 17 year old

Apple doesn't fall far from the tree ... or sumpin like that.
... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... .  I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer.  Hank Thoreau, 1857

Thanks to everyone. These guys really impoved from the first seeding tournament. They were only scoring a few points a game and today they won the gold with a final score of 45-24, an exciting game for them
