The basketball season is in full swing, and again I frequently find myself sitting in the bleachers of gyms scattered across the valley. Braden is playing on two teams...Junior Jazz with a bunch of his cross country buddies, and church ball with the Young Men from our ward. Stefanie is playing Junior Jazz with a 7th/8th grade team. And of course, the Copper Hills Grizzlies, led by my own Coach Smith. His team is killing me this year, they are currently 9-8, and many of their games have been down to the wire. Last night they lost a big game in DOUBLE OVERTIME. Oh, my heart. I cannot express the anxiety. How my husband kept his sanity and composure throughout those endless, unbearable minutes, I cannot fathom, because I, and many of the fans around me, were near nervous breakdown status. No high school gym has ever been so loud. Ugh!
Here is his 2011-2012 team and coaching staff...crossing fingers that they will qualify for the state tournament.
