Jason – Spring Basketball

Jason enjoyed playing in his first basketball season this winter.  We opted to skip baseball this spring – Jason wasn’t super interested in playing this year and to be honest it’s a difficult spectator sport {in my humble opinion} so there wasn’t any remorse on my end.  Mike Gibbs was coaching spring basketball and asked if Jason would like to play on Aubrey’s team (the teams are co-ed in the spring due to smaller participation).  The Gibbs live just around the corner so the ease of carpooling made it a no brainer.  Jason had a great season!


Jason’s season ended with a double header on Saturday, June 4 – after the final game we took the kids outside and Mike spotlighted each player – he had fun nicknames for each of them and then they each got to choose a box of candy {yeah for no trophies!}.  Mike saved Jason for the last because the nickname he’d chosen for Jason was his favorite. 


It truly was perfectly suited for the way Jason plays sports – Angry Bird.  Jason has a super intense game face.

Not the best Angry Bird face but if you look back in prior sports posts you can see he plays with intensity

Mike continued by explaining that Jason not only looks intense but he “propels into action” and is a strong player and teammate.


I have no doubt that in a few years this little baller will be joining his big brother on the court.
