This year Carter made the senior basketball team. At the end of grade 10 we weren't quite sure he would continue with basketball as he chose not to do the spring session but there was a training camp in the first week of summer that we adjusted our vacation to ensure he could attend and I think it made a big difference. We've been watching his school team for a few years and I have two observations. One is that very few parents seem to stick around for the games. At times Kerry and I are the only ones watching. The other observation is that unfortunately the North Surrey team is not exactly top ranked. It saddens me to think that more parents might show up if they won more.
The season goes from October through January and although they seldomly got completely blown out they lost quite a few close games. They did manage to make it into the playoffs which was fun and I think the team enjoys playing. The playoffs ended without a win but there were still tears for the final pictures. For the seniors it would be their final game. Not sure what will happen for next season. They lost their one tall guy. There was a short spring league where Carter got a lot more playing time which he enjoyed. I hope he makes the team again next year.
