Wildcat Home Games 2022

Our mini basketball season brought the Wildcats to their home gym for one weekend. It was awesome to cheer them on in "our house"!

Kennedy & Emma before the game
Zach, Sherri, and Melissa were INCREDIBLE volunteers!
Isis was the best cheering buddy!
Both teams came home with the W on Friday night!

Here are a few highlights of Emma's games...

 



Camden's highlights...










We hosted the teams for a pizza party on Saturday afternoon. I cannot say enough great things about this group of young men and women!

Basketball Weekend in Rota, Spain

720 days after they won the 2020 European Championship, it was finally game day!  

Camden and Emma wore their jerseys to school on Wednesday. They loaded a bus at the school at 3 am Thursday morning to drive to Rome and catch their flight to Spain!

Emma had a ton of fun pictures on her phone she shared with me.  Camden...not so much! #teenageboy


Emma got some great actions shots of Camden on the court and Chris in his famous "coaching stance" on the sidelines Saturday morning

These 2 are a mess!  Kennedy and Emma dancing after their game

They got to enjoy some Spanish food for dinner
followed up with ice cream for dessert!
Someone missed his people a lot and was thrilled when they returned home Sunday night.
