Basketball season started today with our first practice. I say "our" because I am helping coach Erin's team this year. We've got a dozen girls playing on the 7th grade team, so Coach Olson is glad to have a few assistant coaches helping out so we can give the girls a little more one on one attention.
Basketball was my first favorite sport to play when I was a kid and it stayed that way through high school, so it will be fun for me to help out with these girls this year. It will also keep me busy 3 nights a week all winter, which is probably a good thing.
Hockey season is also underway and Dan and I have been thinking about that, too. Teams have begun practicing and preparing for their seasons full of games and tournaments and fun.
Shannon would have been a U14B player this year and that's where 9 of her Rebel teammates from last year ended up. The 14 B's consist of those 9 girls, plus 6 more - most of whom also played with Shannon as some point through the years.
As a team, the 14B's had to come up with a team name. And, as a team, they wanted to somehow honor Shannon. They shared with us their team logo:
