He dropped out of Little League a few weeks ago, probably for good, to concentrate on his basketball. Then his B-ball team, which goes by a number rather than a name, finished in third place in the small WAYA league of just five co-ed teams. They did it by winning their last game of the spring season, in which Mr. B. scored just a little too late (after the game-ending whistle) to add to the score.
No problem. They won the first game of the single-elimination tournament on Monday, aided by two points of his, and two more from his timely pass to a better shooter. Happiness all around. They’re at it again today at five, with back-to-back games, if they win the first one. They just might. All of their players scored in Monday’s competition, for the first time, and the opponent was pretty tough. But better teams await.
UPDATE: They lost the first game, 31-20, so they lost the tournament. Next, we move on to the co-ed summer season.
