Lincoln West Freshman Basketball vs South (Away)

 I have to be honest, I didn't have a lot of expectation going into this game against South Forsyth.  They beat us last time and Lincoln didn't even play at all.  I was dreading this game.  Crazy enough, Lincoln started and got a lot of good play time.  I never know what is going on in the heads of coaches.   You can tell in the above picture that Lincoln was thrilled I was taking pictures...
 Warm ups.
 Lincoln's game was after Palmer's so we got a picture with the two of them and their friend McKay Ono the opposing JV team.  

 We were so surprised that Lincoln went out to start the game!

 Apparently Lincoln's job was to shut down #10 who made the majority of their points last game.  Lincoln did just that.  He was so good defensively.

 I kind of love all of the pictures I get of Lincoln flying through the air with his hair all crazy...





 Lincoln has been so frustrated with the season so far because he couldn't get in a rhythm.  He found it in this game.  He scored a lay up and had some amazing plays.  I hope it continues!  



 Lincoln has been working on a program to help him jump higher.  Right before the game he touched the rim for the first time.  He is catching major air in the picture above. 

 The kid shooting is the brother of one of Palmer's friends in our stake.  It's funny how many people we know that play basketball.  

 Lincoln was such a hustler and he got a lot of jump balls and steals.
 This kid is a running back that also lined up as a receiver in the football game they played against South.  I think Lincoln enjoyed stealing the basketball from him. 

 It got pretty physical.  I am sure Lincoln has some bruises. 
It was a great game!

Priesthood Ordinations

Lincoln became a priest on the first Sunday in January 2020.  What a special day!
 The next Sunday, Hunter was ordained a teacher and Lincoln was able to bless the sacrament with dad for the first time.  
When Hunter was ordained a teacher, both Lincoln and Palmer were able to help ordain him.  It was such an awesome experience watching our boys be able to do that!

Palmer West JV Basketball vs Brookwood (Away)

 Getting ready to play!  Palmer was such a good sport.  Lincoln's game was earlier in the morning and their was a girl's JV game in-between the games.  He was at games for a long time...I am sure he was so ready to play!
 Warming up.



 Palmer did such a great job!  I am amazed at his ball handling skills!

















It was a hard fought game and this team was HUGE!  We won by three!!
