Asbury United Methodist Church and Bethany Free Will Baptist Church here in Tulsa have a recreational youth basketball league called Upward Basketball. It is such a great program and has a very positive approach to the sport.
Lexi, my god-daughter, plays in the 1st & 2nd grade group. Macey & Darcey, my sister's neices, play in the 3rd & 4th grade group. Here are some pictures and highlights.
Lexi is such a hardcore defender.
Here is some action from one of the games. I snapped the pic right after the ball bounced off of one of Lexi's teammates heads.
Playing basketball makes you parched!
Before each game they announce each player. At this game they turned the lights out and even had a spotlight and a fog machine as each girl ran out . This is so stinkin' cute to watch. They all get so pumped and excited to play. Here is TW with his team. Man they are pumped!
I just thought this was a really cool picture.
Here are Macey and Darcey watching from the bench. You could tell they really wanted to play.

Did they all win? Hope so!
1st & 2nd grade don't keep score, but based on our calculations, Lexi's team did win. Macey and Darcey's team was so far ahead that they had to stop keeping score.
Thanks for being there to support Lexi!! We both really appreciate it!!!!! You're such a wonderful friend! Couldn't ask for any better!
