On To State...
The boys basketball team won their game on Saturday night. To be honest, it was bittersweet for this Mama. Tommy didn't get any playing time..none. I do not understand the coach, and I do not appreciate his unfulfilled promises to Tommy but here is what I was SO proud of...
-I was proud to see his hand on his heart during the National Anthem, this isn't a given anymore for people to put their hand on their hearts. I don't understand that. But I was proud that he was one of the 3 players on our team that did.
-I was proud of how he encouraged his teammates from the bench. He cheered them on, he high-fived them coming off of the court.
-I was proud of how he celebrated the victory and remembered that it was about "TEAM" and not Tommy. I had a harder time as the Mom sitting in the stands to be completely honest.
-I was proud of his big smile throughout it all. I know inside his heart was hurting.
So on to State we go...we play our first game next Tuesday at 10:30 am. He is excited about it all and for that I am proud. DMC has not been to state in boys basketball since 2010 so it is a very cool thing. Tee shirts are ordered and the school is SO excited! Go Lions!
