I'm SO glad we decided to let Zach try out basketball this year because it was SOOO fun!! Mark helped assistant coach Zach's' team with Coach Tony Overbay who was also Zach's baseball coach last year and will be again this year. We love Coach Tony and his family- we've known them since we first moved to Lincoln 10 years ago. He is so great with the boys and really makes an effort to make sure they are having fun and everyone is getting equal playing time. Anyways, I never thought I would really get into the basketball games at this age with 1st and 2nd graders playing but it really was so fun...especially because our team "Heat" was actually pretty good! They only had 8 total games and they won 5 of the 8! The last game being the closest and tied only to lose in overtime! It was seriously INTENSE!! Zach played his heart out and I am so proud of how much he improved from the beginning of the season. He managed to score a few baskets in almost every game. I think his highest scoring game he scored 12 points! I just wish this sport had a longer season! It was so nice to be inside rain or shine :) We are now already into baseball season, and it goes until June! sheesh! Well, below are some pics from the last basketball game...Zach is #10 :)
Chase handing off to Jake (Coach Tony's son)...these two are cousins and are really awesome basketball players. See pic below of Jake catching some air on his layup.

I can't believe you weren't going to sign Zach up! He's got game! Loved all the bball pictures, since Blake was in some of them. Also, I haven't visited your blog in a while and I love your family picture at the top!
Zach is an awesome BB player and is only going to get better. I am so happy that we got to see him play when we were visiting!! So much fun :)
How fun! He is so cute out there in that uniform. It's amazing what these little guys can do!
Way to go Zach! He has grown so much taller since the last time I saw him! It doesn't seem like his height has made a lick of difference in his ability to compete!! We are proud of you Zach!!
Zach is such a stud. He needs to come and teach Niko how to ball
