Robbie played his second season of Upward Basketball this year. His team was definitely not a championship team by any means, but he had a great coach who cared a lot about the boys and taught them well, and they all seemed to have fun. Robbie improved quite a bit throughout the season (practices began in December and his last game was the first week of March). On the court (as in most areas), Robbie puts forth good effort, is quick and efficient, and does what he is told. He was a good little dribbler and not a bad shot. Although he played tough defense, he didn't seem comfortable stealing the ball even though he had opportunities where he could have done so.
Waiting for the inbounds pass- more often than not, he filled this role.

MARCH MADNESS
The other item to report rgegarding basketball is the Hunt family continued with the 2nd Annual March Madness Bracket Contest. All six of us participated this year with Rachel and Cole's picks being selected by Robbie. Robbie follows basketball quite a bit with Rob and asks questions as he makes his selections. Alexa chooses teams based on names, colors, mascots, and used the teams' seed in the bracket a bit. I tend to use history (as in teams that are historically good and do well in the tournament) as my greatest influence in making my selections as well as pick a couple of my favorite teams to move a bit farther in the tournament than what one might suppose they would. I don't follow the teams too much each year in their season as to who is doing well/when, key players who are injured, etc., so I just do the best that I can. Rob's selection process probably doesn't need to be explained, and if it does, he will need to do it. Anyway, that is a lot of information you probably don't need, but we did complete our brackets before the tournament began and kept track throughout. And the winner was . . . . Robbie! I think he had one more point than Rob at the end, but it was close throughout. Alexa and I came in last. Since Robbie had done Rachel and Cole's brackets, they did pretty well too coming in only a point or two behind Rob. Fun for all, folks!
