Murphy Mavericks

The Murphy Mavericks finally kicked off their basketball season this past weekend.  They won big their first game with a score of 20 - 3.  Sunday was no different and they played even better!  J man did the tip-off for both games.  At first glance, we all felt sorry for tiny #4. 

But then Jackson misunderstood the ref and thought he couldn't touch the ball until it came back down, and low and behold, this little guy actually won the tip off!  It was a bright spot in their team's performance, for sure, and I bet that kid was stoked.  Way to go #4! 

The rest of the game went something like this:  We make a shot, they get the ball, dribble down to their basket, try to pass, but then this kid jumps up and takes it away!

Then my point guard takes it back down the court and scores!

Caleb, Jackson, Tucker and Blake.  They were a force, I tell ya!

Such concentration.  The kid made long-range shots...

and lay-ups, too.

By half-time they were winning by 20, I think.

Did this kid let up, though?  Not a chance.  He did so great and scored 10 points for the Mavs.  They won 30 - 2!  We can't wait to watch them play again after the Christmas break.  Maybe by then his baby sister will be there to watch, too:)
