Chomp Chomp

On the day before Mother’s Day (5/7), we joined forces once again to play a mean game of wheelchair basketball.  Our team played four games and won three of them.  We made it to the Semi Finals and lost to the team that ultimately won the whole tournament…not too shabby.  Our coach actually did a good job coaching us since he had been playing with the organization for a couple of months now.  He even gave me a tip for what to do the next time a big guy tries to steal the ball from me.  Yep, that happened to me that day.   In the end, we went home as the most decorated team with me receiving the “Least Likely to Be a Wheelchair Basketball Player” trophy and Teresa received “Best Sportsmanship”.  Haha.

We had a really good time and ended the day calling ourselves the Children’s Chompers.  I tried to make t-shirts for our team this year but our vendor failed us miserably.  Oh well, we will certainly be back next year and maybe with t-shirts to show off our new name.
