Five Snow Days and More B-Ball

The great blizzard of 2011 came and stayed! The kids ended up having 5 snow days!!! As you can see, Arbor Springs was left with several inches of ice that made for a fast but treacherous sledding run. We had several injuries, mostly the adults...

Go Jackie Go...

The roads were so icy that the Dekalb County Police closed our street with crime scene tape!!! Neighbors Bob and Marc may be smiling, but everyone really just wanted to get to work.
Jackson had his second basketball game of the year and showed great improvement. He plays defense with exceptional aggression. He says "I am a stone wall on defense."

"Jacko" even got a few shots off in the game. Baseline jumper...
The "stone wall" in action.

Hmm, maybe I will be a point guard...
 
The shot goes up...
...it's good!!!
Coach Jimmy is preparing the White Tigers before the game. Whatever he said worked, because you could see improvement in most the players over the first game.

Catie Cooper was much improved in her second game. She was much more aggressive and actually took a shot!

Look at our girl ripping the ball away from her opponent. She must be listening when coach Jimmy says "defense wins championships!"


Catie Cooper starting the fast break...
Oops, my man got by...rats.
