V is for Viking Victory


Casey's JV Basketball team pulled out their first win of the season today! The game was against Glenns Ferry and the final score was 54 to 43. It was a hard fought game. The boys had to pull out their A game, and their hard work played off. It's been a tough season so far. The JV team is full of some very novice players, and at times Casey feels like he just repeats himself over and over about running their players, boxing out, etc. Tonight was his third JV game this week (then you add in 3 varsity games he assisted in). January is full of games. Thankfully a lot of the games this month are home games so the kids and I can go cheer on Casey and his team.
Casey says coaching is stressful with long hours, but it's been fun.
It's been a bit hard not having Casey around a lot lately. His practice times vary every week, and he's had mostly away games so far; taking him away on weekends till 2 in the morning sometimes. The kids and I are missing Casey. Kendal has meltdowns every so often because her daddy isn't home at night, she hasn't seen him for a day or so, or she can't go with him to practice or away games. We are proud of Casey and all of the hard work he is putting in with coaching, teaching, church, and with us.
Congrats Casey on your win; I hope your team keeps up the good work they showed today!
