Varsity Basketball

DeAndre played most of the season with the JV basketball team until the Varsity coach requested that he move up to play with them...it was a hard decision because DeAndre was starting on JV and playing most of the game.  He had made new friends and was having fun with the team.  Matt and I talked with the Coach and with DeAndre and together we all decided that he would play a few more JV games and then move up to Varsity.  The coach promised us that he would give him real minutes and make sure that the seniors were accepting and encouraging.

His first game he scored 3, second game 5 and the third game 7!  His confidence has increased and he is exciting to watch.  He has done really well so far!

Making a lay-up!

 The crowd cheering for his layup!  They started chanting, "HE'S A FRESHMAN!"

He gets good grades too!  Proud of that kid!
