Jr. Jazz Game on!

Hunter had his first Jr. Jazz game and it was...well it was...it went...Hunter did AWESOME!! The coach started Hunter on the bench and we were a little bit sad, but then again, he did not know that Hunter has "Mad Skillz!!" Once Hunter got in the game, the coach did not take him out! Hunter was the lead re-bounder, lead scorer, lead stealer, lead stuffer, lead dribbler, lead free thrower, and lead cool kid!! One of the boys on Hunter's team told him, "You are just like AK47 from the Jazz!" Hunter made both his free throws, stole the ball from the other team multiple times, got every rebound that came to him, and due to his LONG arms-stuffed many a frustrated opponent! The coach was running up and down the court yelling Hunter's name and giving him "thumbs up" and at every 'time out' Hunter would ask, "am I out?" the coach would say, "Ahhh no, you are defiantly in!" To make this funner, one of Hunter's school friends was on the other team and he was not so happy to see Hunter step onto the court, he knows the skills that Hunter has! Hunter was walking tall as we left the game, not because we won (we didn't), but because he discovered that basketball comes natural to him, he does not have to work as hard and it was FUN!! I was very proud of Hunter and hope that this talent will go far with him! We can't wait for the next game!
