Hoops Star.

Not to brag, but I will, Luke

was THE star of the Somersett

basketball league. He outscored

every other player by double

digits. Luke was an aggressive

shootin' machine.

Luke loves playing basketball,

which is a pretty great thing since

he is just about the tallest

11-year-old ever.

It was fun to watch Luke in

action, as he was guarded by this

huge tank . . . each and every

game!!! Luke took him on and

gave him a HUGE run for his

money.

Shootin' for the extra point . . .

He makes it!!!

It is totally true, these two

were seriously banging it out

throughout the whole entire

last game . . . they were both out

to win!!!

That big guy couldn't stop Luke from

scoring another 2 for his team!!

There are fringe benefits to playing

on a co-ed neighborhood league . . .

Actually, basketball is my favorite

sport to watch either on television

or in person. It is a fast-paced game

and full of action. It is especially fun to

watch when your son loves it and is

playing his heart out!!

Luke takes control of the ball . . .

. . . and scores!!!

Yep, that BIG guy was at it all night

long. Luke came right back at

him each and every time!!!

I am so thankful that Luke had

such a wonderful coach and a

great experience playing basketball. He

made a ton of friends and was able to

get to know some of our new neighbors.

During the season, Mike and I became

known as the parents of "the tall kid".

You can definitely see why!!!

The coach said that he could see

basketball in Luke's future . . .

I think that we can too!

A big shout out to Sam for the awesome

action-packed photos.
