The basketball season has come to an end and with it came the basketball banquet. Of course it had to be on my birthday...great way to celebrate right?? LOL.
Even though we had a rough season it was still a nice evening. They handed out awards to the seniors with the most points scored, most steals etc. Then they started handing out awards to the best offensive player, defensive player and so on...it was really nice for the seniors. They passed out the Most Improved Player and Brookes Carter went up and got it...then the coach said...we couldn't decide between two players on this so we are going to pass out another Most Improved. He then went on to talk about trying to decide whether to keep this kid on the team but thought they needed too and how hard this kid came out and practiced. He did everything he was asked to do and ended up starting most games. He went on for a few more minutes (even more then he did for the first kid that got the award) and then said this is presented to Matt Hunsaker. HOLY COW!!! Wow...that was such a nice surprise especially since he was the only JV player to get an award. Way to go Matt!!
The funny thing is Matt has been trying to decide if he really wanted to play next year or not...(Larry and I want him too so bad). So now I think the pressure is on a little more to tryout after getting this award.
So proud of my 6' 2" basketball stud!!
