Jr. Jazz

Josh has been playing Jr. Jazz pretty much his whole life! And my dad's been coaching him the entire time. It's been fun watching Josh and his friends grow up around the team but as they get older the game gets a lot more intense. In their last game of the season, Josh got elbowed in the face and got a fat lip out of it. His two sisters on the side line were not pleased. I tried to tale pictures but I didn't want to get yelled at about the flash so they didn't turn out so well...







And then there was the playoff drama...So as far as I understand the events that took place this is what happened: entrance into the playoffs this year was based upon sportsmanship and not record. 32 teams got into the playoffs out of 38 and Josh's team was one of the six that didn't get invited to the playoffs. Well, for some reason Josh's team was given the opportunity to play for a spot in the playoffs. They just had to win two games to get in. Sadly they lost the first one and that team went on to beat the next. But it turns out that the team that beat Josh was playing a player who not only was not only on the team but was not even registered with jr. jazz. So that team was disqualified and the second team was invited into the playoffs. But that's not fair.....and our other coach found out and called them out on it. Josh deserved to be in the playoffs just as much as the other team and after that phone call we were in the playoffs. We played hard but after all the drama of this the boys were unfocused and ended up losing a tough game. But I'm proud of them! They played a great season and it's like Josh said, it's all about church ball now! Go Jazz!
