That's My Boy







An era has ended. It has been a long one.....many years of enjoying watching Jake play basketball. I have always enjoyed watching my children play. I remember when they were little, sending them out to the back yard so I could get something done in the house, then I would just stand at the window and watch them play anyway. But basketball has been extra special. Jake has put his heart into it. It's where many of his best character traits show themselves most observably: hard work, tenacity, loyalty, determination, friendship, team work, obedience, leadership. Not to mention talent, intelligence, and an irresistible sense of humor.

I love you Jake and am proud to have been your biggest fan for all these years. Perhaps you'll bless another team at the next level. But whether you do or don't, you've blessed my life more than you'll ever know.
