Wildcat Fever...

   STANFORD WILDCATS 5TH GRADE TEAMS 2011

Wow!! Time flies when your having fun huh? So, I haven't written in like 2 weeks but I am back and full of stories ;)  This past weekend has been awesome!!  Both my boys are basketball players and have been since they were old enough to sign up! For the past 2 years they have attended Stanford Elementary which are known as the Stanford "Wildcats" This past weekend was the Championship Tournament for their school and both their teams made it into the tournament.  In the end Cody's (my oldest) team had to play against the other 5th grade team which also happens to be full of players he has became very good friends with, so it was kind of hard for him =(  I was very proud of him and the good sportsmanship he showed yesterday. It was the last few minutes of the game and Cody's team was winning, one of his team mates was shooting a free throw and Cody takes about 3 steps towards a player (also one of those friends I mentioned on the other team) and pats him on the back and gives him a low-five...in the end Cody's 5th grade B-team won the championship and the other team had players crying and Cody told me after the game how he wanted to give his medal to one of those opposing players for playing such a good game because that player was upset.....I have never been more proud of my son then when he made that remark!!  This was a sad ending as well for these boys because it is the last year that some of them will get to play together, next year for the sixth grade team they have to try-out.  In the end we got a team picture of both 5th grade teams together and told them, no matter who won the trophy, it was going to be displayed at Stanford Elementary and they were ALL Stanford "Wildcats"  and "Winners"

  Also this weekend was the SEC Tournament and The Kentucky "Wildcats" (my home state) WON today making this a GREAT weekend to be a "Wildcat Fan" for me!!!
