Basketball Tourney

Matthew's first AAU tourney was in Lexington, SC this weekend. (AAU is a competitive league across the US.) His team had one game Friday night and two Saturday. Unfortunately they lost all three games. Two of the teams they played have been playing together for some time and this is only the second tournament Matthew's team has played together.

Matthew played well and scored 8 points over 3 games. He played consistently and made his free throws. I think he finally realizes he is going to have to play more aggressively and drive to the goal. When he did that yesterday he was drawing fouls which is just fine.

Game 1 - Lost (3 points)
Game 2 vs B-L Phantoms - Lost 50 - 67 (3 points)
Game 3 vs White Knoll - Lost 57-64 (2 points)

Next tournament is in two weeks here in Spartanburg. By the way, his team is the Spartanburg Bucks.

Here are a few pics from Saturday.
