Basketball Celebration

Tonight we went to Shakey's pizza to celebrate the end of basketball season for the Pacers. Only four of the seven boys showed up. We got to sit and eat on pizza and mojo potatoes (it's a fan favorite here.) We watched the Mariners while eating and talking with the other parents. The boys were in the arcade playing to their hearts content.
Then we got down to business. The coaches talked about our season and how great it was to see the boys get their basketball skills down. They noticed how much they have changed from the first game to the last. Each coach had their own speech. When the coach talked about Raymont, he stated how Raymont was the most skilled player out of all, how he played his heart out, that there were times he lost his cool but he always motivated him by telling him that is part of the game and to keep trying harder. The last thing he mentioned was how Raymont was the "Allen Iverson" of the team. That made us feel good.
Here are some of the pictures from tonight:
