March Madness comes to Decorah

Warming up before the game

He shoots...he scores!!!

Don't even THINK about taking this ball away from me!

Did it go in?

Just look at that defense!

Oh, to get my hands on that ball!!!

Liam finally gets his chance!

We all had a great time at Drew's Biddy Basketball game. Drew was right in there, dribbling and shooting the ball -- just having a great time. Of course, it was pure torture for Liam, but he was very good about waiting until the game was over to get his chance to play.

After Drew's team had had their snack, Liam had gotten a chance to play a little and the next teams were lining up to do their "warm ups," we gathered our things and started to head for the door. Suddenly we realized Liam wasn't with us. We looked down on the gym floor, and there right in the middle of a line of red-shirted 5- and 6-year olds was Liam, patiently waiting for his turn at the net, like he was just another member of the team (he was wearing red, after all!). Before we could grab him, he found himself at the front of the line, took the ball, shot and scored.

We did manage to snatch him out of there before one of the coaches recruited him.
