Here two of our Basalt 5/6 boys teams. Schoon and Alcorta...

Sunday, February 10 Games

3/4 Girls

I love watching the excitement when one of the girls make a basket. This was a pretty exciting game!

5/6 Girls

This video doesn't show what an exciting game this was as well. The girls won both their games and it was a close score.

Snow Days

All this lovely snow makes for a wonderful winter playground, but it also makes playing our weekday games pretty hard. I know the kids want to play, but we have to keep in mind that their safety is our main concern. We did get a game in on 2/5 with the 5th/6th boys team with Coach Krueger. Here is a little bit of the game...

Character Counts

"If character is what you do when no one is watching, then sportsmanship is that conduct with everybody watching. "
-- Bob Ley, ESPN sportscaster

Watching the Super Bowl on Sunday really put on a show of good character on both team. It seemed the game went so fast and then I realized there were no fouls to speak of. Each team played a good hard game and the team that wanted it the most came out the victor. It was really unfortunate for Belichick that the whole world witnessed the only unsportsmanlike conduct in the game as he walked off the field with a second to play in the game. Winning with pride and losing with graciousness is what the "game" is all about.
