With his finger unwrapped ready to play some ball we headed to Alta for another tourney. The boys won 1 and lost 2. Tyler had a personal best with shooting 55% from the field. Dad you'll be happy to know a lot of them were driving to the basket, in the paint, and layups the old school way (arms straight up using the backboard).

Good job Tyler! Way to go!

After a week of me writing Tyler's homework, classmates carrying his books, and the doctor giving the OK: his wrap is off. Just a yellow green bruise, a good x-ray, and an odor coming from between his fingers to show me he's ready for another basketball tournament this Saturday.

Then to end the day we took a trip to the ER. There we found out he fractured his ring finger and will be wearing this make shift immoblizer for the next week.
During the last game of the day, with an unknown broken finger, Tyler show good defense. The boys ended up 2-1 for the day. They really started picking up the pace and playing together as a team. Good job boys!!!

To start the trip to Pocahontas at 8 a.m. Dimitri, Cole and Tyler sing "100 bottles of gatorade on the wall to loosen up." Their music teacher would be so proud.

With Steve sporting his coaching skills and Tyler his new 'do we headed out in the snowstorm to play in the St. Mary's tourney. The boys played well and worked together as a team to bring their record to 2 wins and 1 loss. Next Saturday we head to Pocahontas for another tourney.

Tyler and Chad participated in the National Elks Hoop Shoot this afternoon at the Middle School. Both boys did a great job representing St. Mary's in the 10 & 11 year old division.
