This is a long overdue post about the basketball season. Philip enjoyed a year on the varsity of Michigan Lutheran Seminary's Cardinals team. He did not get much playing time, but he likes being a part of the team. I am sure more time in the driveway over the summer working on his shot and some other techniques will help him next year. The team finished with a 10-11 record, losing their first game in the playoffs. They showed flashes of excellence throughout the season, but that was countered by too many mistakes and breakdowns. Cleaning up some turnovers and questionable decisions will go a long way in making that record more impressive. Fortunately, the team was mostly juniors, and there is another opportunity next season to make that improvement.
Peter played for St. Paul's Lutheran School's B team this season. They dipped down to 4th grade, so Peter got an extra year of experience to learn the game. He still needs to grow into the game, learning some basics and especially how to position himself and his game will improve tremendously. He can share the driveway with Philip this summer. (In fact, I will chase them out there!) I am not positive on St. Paul's record, but it was below .500, but that is with a lot of 4th graders on the team. They will improve a lot over the next two seasons.
Here are some photos throughout the season.
