1st Basketball Game of 2011

Saturday was Hay's 1st basketball game of the season. He is getting to play on a team with some of his classmates this year and LOVING it. (Now to be honest basketball is not his "best" sport. In fact, it does not even come close). However, when he is out on the Court he gives it his ALL all the time.
It would be nice if his Momma could figure out how to take pictures in a gym without the yellow look. I received a wonderful book on shooting sports photography for Christmas and read up on basketball shooting a lot before Saturday's game. Don't really know that it helped but.... it was worth a try. :-)

Bless Hay's heart he got to guard the big boy on the other team the first game. He may be skinny but he is stout. This kid did not stand a chance pushing our boy.
During the second game, all the boys were a little tired but they hung in there and won.
Hustling back up the Court. What this kiddo lacks in natural basketball talent, he sure tries to make up with in sheer hustle.
Eye on the ball........
High fives for a job well done....
This shot is taken after the refs called the boys off....I got to excited to get the photo of Hay and his determination not to let the other child have the loose ball. HA

The boys won both games. What a great start to a fun season. This picture was taken of the team (less McKenzie) with a guy who is in a Radio Disney band. The kids wanted their picture made with him so that when he is famous they can say he came to see one of their games. HA
