June 28th & 29th we traveled to Spokane, Washington to watch Eric and Brent play in a 3 on 3 basketball tournament. Eric had participated the past few years but this was the first year both of our sons played together. We called the boys the 7-11 brothers since their numbers were 7 and 11.
Both days felt like sitting in a furnace for 8 hours at a time. The temperatures were unseasonably warm; 100 degrees and 104 degrees the second day which broke a record for June.
Brent said after the game that this black guy he had to guard was really tough. It was amazing to watch Brent hold his own with this guy who had to out weigh him by quite a bit and was taller. The guy was good and really knew how to throw his weight around under the basket.
The first game they lost, so they were in the losers bracket. They played seven games in two days, winning all until the championship game. They came in second. The winning team played only 4 games in two days compared to our guys who played 8. They said they had the will during the last game but their bodies had no get up and go left!
