Austin's Basketball Tournament!

Austin has been participating in the "Little Dribblers" Basketball League at school for the past month and today they had the end of the session tournament.  He has really enjoyed playing basketball and gets really excited about playing (and especially excited about making a basket)!  He is a bit of a ball hog at times and, like all the other first graders, is working on dribbling without traveling or double dribbling.  Thanks to some advice on basketball pictures from our neighbor from Rochester, Shawna, I got my camera on better settings today and got some good photos of Austin playing in the tournament.

 Will it go in?
 Yes!
 Rebound.  He gets right in there and goes for the ball!
 Getting a tough rebound.
 Defense.
 Taking a shot.
Austin has had a great cheering section these past few weeks...
Trevor excited about being swung around by Nanny and Auntie Michelle.

The whole 1st grade basketball crew.  Austin was on the far right of the back row (with the bright green T-shirt under his jersey).
Austin was very excited to receive a medal today.
"What do you think, Mom?  Is this medal made of gold?"
