Basketball!

 OK, I admit it.  I was thrilled when Smalz said he wanted to play basketball again this year.  With the YMCA, they only have practice once a week with games on Saturday.  After his first practice, Smalz remembered how much fun basketball is.  Here's his team this season.  (Yes, same coach as for flag football.)

Protecting the ball

Smalz loves when he gets to play guard though he frequently plays a forward.

  He works fairly well in either position.

Just got 2 points!

And this is how Chief spends the games.  He and Peanut aren't nearly as interested or excited as I am.  But whatever.  They've done better this season than last so I guess they are getting used to it.
