I know that in the near future I'll be looking back on these days and remembering how great it was to watch Alex play basketball. His game has improved so much and today they won both games in a tournament and his team is in the top eight. In the first game, Alex played the first quarter and five minutes of the last quarter as his team won 109-34. The second game was much more challenging but his team ended up winning by 25 points and he went down in the fourth quarter with leg cramps. He jumped for a rebound once, twice, then three times and went to the ground with about three other opposing team players and stayed on the ground. I saw him lift his leg up in the air and I knew it must be cramps. He ended up sitting out the rest of the game. In a few weeks they face a team that schooled them in this same tournament. Hopefully they'll do better the next time around.
We had a beautiful drive along the Izu Peninsula on the way to his game.
Alex didn't have much to do in the first game.
Rachel was SO excited to watch Alex play!
Alex going up for the shot.
This is the way Alex shoots! Just kidding. He's going up for a rebound!
I think someone was pulling out a wedgie during the game!
