The Olympus Basketball season is officially over, finished, done, complete. We find ourselves a little bit sad at our now empty Tuesday and Friday afternoons. It was SO fun to watch (as parents). It was thrilling to see 13 boys (who feel a tiny bit like one tall extended family for more than 3 months) play twice every week. The Sophomore team finished 17 and 3...undefeated in district play until the final game against Bountiful. (J.V. had a 20 and 0 record! Should make for some exciting Varsity games next fall.)
Josh was 5th out of 13 in scoring for the team--their lead shooter (is that what he's called?) had an amazing year with 299 points!!!
Last night was the team/parent banquet. Lesson learned: Coach Barnes (head coach at Oly) can talk a LOT. (3 hours strong with hardly a breath!) It was great as a parent to listen to him (the coach) talk about his love for the program, the sport, and the boys. He runs a tough program, but a good one and I am so THRILLED that my son has been surrounded by so many good coaches, that care for him and teach him, and so many GREAT GREAT boys, who have become his friends. (and eaten their fair share of cookies fresh out of my oven)
We look forward (hopefully) to next year, when our Tuesday and Friday evenings will become a little bit fuller again.
Until then, congrats Oly boys--it was a fun ride for all those involved!
