I meant to record Noah's basketball season right after it happened and it was fresh in memory.
This wasn't Noah's first season to play basketball, as he'd been in Upwards for a few years, but it was his first time playing for school. Upward and school ball are very different, keeping score being a big change!
We saw such growth from Noah during this season. He was a little apprehensive at first, not really knowing how to play his position. Once he learned his size was an advantage and he could intimidate other players, he was unstoppable! His accuracy on shots improved each game too and soon he was racking up 3 pointers like they were nothing!
One game we sat near the front but close to the other team. I could hear them and the coach when they would huddle. It was funny to hear them complain about Noah's defense...."I can't do anything with that #40 on the floor! He is everywhere!"
We fondly nicknamed him "Brickwall Blair" as a result. :)
The season was a little chaotic, with snow changing the schedules and a few sprained ankles, but we enjoyed cheering him on. I can't wait to see my brickwall play next season!
