Basketball!

The other thing we did yesterday was attend S's basketball game.  Seven twelve year old boys from Vail Mountain School took on a team of about 30 kids from one of the other middle schools.

Couple things to note:
1) It's easy to win when you can exchange your entire lineup five times throughout the game.
2) Those VMS boys played their little hearts out, and were SO TIRED by the time they were done.
3) Twelve year old boys are a wee bit aggressive.
4) The rules don't seem to matter all the time when you are learning fundamentals - things like travelling, double dribbling, and being three feet out of bounds don't really count as issues.
5) Volunteer coaches have the PATIENCE OF JOB.

Even though they lost, S had a couple of great plays.  Go Rangers!!
