We have another STAR!

It's your turn, Ryan!

Just in case you've been wondering, "is Ryan doing anything?"  Well, yes.  It would be basketball!

Interestingly, basketball is coached very differently between France and America.  Ryan was thinking of walking away from the sport altogether .....


..... until....



..... he started to play basketball in America.

To sum up the biggest difference, I'll share Ryan's exact words:  "Mom, this is actually fun!"

But, it really hasn't been all fun and games.  Ryan has really grown in his ability this year.  And, he loves playing with the guys on his team.  They are going to be a very fun bunch of boys to watch in the next 7 years.

The team got to play during the half time of one of the Boys Varsity Basketball games.  That was fun!

Here they are at the Cage in Tipton.  The Cage is this huge barn out in the middle of a cornfield with 2 basketball courts inside of it - a very cool place to play ball.

We've been to Tipton about every weekend since the first of the year for basketball games.  This past week was the tournament.

Here's Ryan's team playing in the championship game...

...which they won!!!!  Yeah!  Way to go Oak Hill Little Eagles!

Ryan has warned me that he is going to need a shelf in his room for all of the trophies he is going to win.  I guess maybe I should listen to him. :-)

Way to go, Ryan!!!!
