Micah, my MVP!

Last night Lauren and I got to attend a basketball game between the Grizzlies and the Celtics. These weren't the two NBA teams but in the local Clayton rec league, they're just as serious. On Sunday, the ring bearer in our wedding's father told me about Micah's basketball game on Tuesday night. The were one of  four teams left and we wouldn't miss it! So we made arrangements to surprise him and attend the game. 

 When we showed up at the gym toting a bright green poster saying "Go Micah!" and sat down on the front row, Micah looked over and saw us and smiled and said "really?" We were excited about getting to watch him play.

 This was a win-or-go-home game so the stakes were as high as our nerves as we cheered on every made basket or blocked shot. The opposing team (the Celtics) shot a lot. They made a good deal of shots early and took the lead and held it basically the whole time, even at one point up double-digits.

 However, the Grizzlies came back and made it a nail-biter and pulled it to within one-point. They got a rebound off of the front end of a one-and-one and the coach called a timeout...with 1 second left. They in-bounded the ball with a heave to half court and the time expired by the time they got full control.

I was proud of Micah and enjoyed getting to watch him play!
