Nate's First Game


Nate's team had their first pratice yesterday and their first game today, which they lost (Mike, if this were you son, you would be angry, wouldn't you?). Nate's coach is a friend of mine, Tim Hill, who I served with on the board of Project 311. Tim love basketball and actually owns a pair of every Air Jordan show style ever made. He is also one of the few black men in the South Lyon area. He was sharing with me that people often ask him if he actually has a kid in the school district, because it's such a white community. We were joking that he's a pretty hot commodity as a coach in this area, due to his uniqueness. He's a phenomenal coach who played three years of college ball and has a great understanding the game, how to coach and motivate the kids while teaching them the fundamentals.

Hey Dave,

Angry nope! You have got me all wrong, losing isn't the issue. Doing your best. That is second to honoring Christ. My controversial issue is regarding where in the line of importance comes having fun. THIRD!!! Meanwhile Christopher and Drew's team rolls 5-0. We finally had a team get within 20 points of us. Made it actually fun. Christopher is on fire, scoring consistently. Andrew being the youngest kid in the league has already score three times. He is my point guard when get up by 20 points and does an excellent job. It is really fun to see Chris and Drew pass back and forth.

Much Love,
Michael
