Will did ok in his first basketball practice. The coach worked them hard for two hours, with many drills Will was unfamiliar with. Will likes to mix it up underneath, which is good. They had him playing wing. Since all he's played is half-court, maybe 3 on 3, he has a lot to learn about transitions, positioning, etc. Today his ankle is sore, as it often is after baseball. He wore 3/4 high shoes, so Monday he may wear high-tops.
The Flight Basketball organization has 4 teams: 6th & 7th grade, 8th, JV, and Varsity. Depending on age and ability, boys can play on multiple teams. Little Charles Norman plays on the 6th/7th and dresses out on the 8th, getting a little PT. Joel Norman plays 8th & JV. David Norman is growing taller and plays JV and Varsity. Yesterday I didn't recognize him. Willis Norman is 16, drives, stands at least 6'8", and plays varsity. This week he got his first dunk in a game. Since Will turned 13 in July, he may play some for the 6th/7th grade team as well.
See where the Charlotte Observer reported Vick could be traded, perhaps for draft picks, possibly to Oakland. The other rumor was Spurrier going to Bama. South Carolina fans would be devastated, Clemson fans would rejoice.
Matthew wore his new Mickey shirt yesterday, as part of his all-navy ensemble.
