Jr Comet Basketball

Tanner and Dallin played basketball with the Jr Comets this year. They just finished this season. Thank goodness! It was busy. Dallin had practice on Tuesday and Thursday, and Tanner had practice on Wednesday and Friday. And they both had games on Saturdays. Paula took Dallin most practice days since I babysit while he needs to be at practice. She was a life saver!

Dallin had an amazing coach, Collin Grant. Dallin really respected him and looked up to him, and Collin was so patient with Dallin who got a little goofy during practices. Dallin improved tremendously. He wasn't the strongest player, but he was just happy to show up. He was so proud of being on an undefeated team. 
 Tanner's team, on the other hand, was defeated every game. He was probably their strongest player. The coach wasn't as experienced or in control as Collin. Had a hard time controlling the rowdy boys even with an assistant. Tanner never let it get him down; played hard and loved it. Hopefully next year Collin can coach Tanner also. Collin has a son Tanner's age that he also coached. It was pretty sad when Tanner's team played Collin's other son's team. Lost by probably 50 points. 
The girls were supportive and at every game.
