Well the NCAA is on and UK is out and all that, but in our house the most fun this season has been watching Lawrence play basketball for Mt. Carmel High School. Their league, KY Christian Schools Athletic Assoc., allows younger students to play on High School teams. So, although Lawrence is in the 8th grade, he was able to play in most of the games and we enjoyed watching him in most of them.
At the State Tournament in Lexington they narrowly lost their first game, consigning them to the Consolation bracket. They played hard and won one game in that bracket. When the awards were given after the tournament, Lawrence was awarded Honorable Mention for the All Star Team from our region. This meant he could suit up for the East-West game.
Turned out he got to play for over half of the game! He scored 7 points, one a three-pointer, and he played with energy and skill. The competition was stiff with lots of big guys (there was a dunk or two that day). Lawrence's team came from 10 down to take the lead part way through the 3rd quarter but then faded and lost by 6 points or so.
Of course we are happy and proud and wanted to share a picture or two with the world!
Very nice. Congrats, Lawrence! Proud of you.
