Tonight Blake’s team played their last basketball game. They played great and ended the season 17 and 2. It was bittersweet as this was his last game with this team. The student section all stood up and chanted his name toward the end of the game. They love him and he will be greatly missed. He has given the team humor and connection. It’s been great to get to know these boys these past years and have them eating us out of house and home every week. I will miss the loudness, the laughter, the after-game b.o., the late nights, etc., etc. But I know that as we say goodbye to these boys we will soon be saying hello to new ones. And I pray that God prepares our hearts to welcome them and love them and make a difference in their lives.
Oh, a highlight during the game…they had a half court shooting contest during half time for the spectators. Paul (Abby’s boyfriend) made it and walked away with $20.00. So they get a free date at the movies!
Congrats Cactus Shadows! It was a great season and sooooooo much fun to cheer you all on 🙂
