Hoop Dreams

The boys are playing Upward basketball again this year. If you have kids aged 6-11, I highly recommend it...it's the best sports program my kids have been involved in. Anyhow, in Upward they try to match up kids of similar size/skill levels so they are guarding each other. Chris, being fairly tall for his age, guarded the big guy on the other team. The big guy turned out to be the son of John Kitna (Cincinnati Bengals backup QB). He had no idea who John Kitna is, but for a Bengals fan like me it was kind of cool. Chris had a great game, scoring a basket and playing great defense! Ben, meanwhile, had his best game in his three years of basketball--scoring eight points and also playing solid defense!
