On the Court

Isaac started practice for his basketball team back in December.  He was recruited by a coach from Salem to come over there and play for his team.  There are two other Santaquin kids playing on this team.  Dennis is going to be assistant coach. They are both looking forward to this basketball season.

Games started at the beginning of January. Isaac's number is 23 which he was sure to remind me is Michael Jordan's number. His team, named the Longhorns, won their first game 42-12. Because Isaac loves his stats and was so close to getting a double/double (I had to ask . .  its double digits in two categories) here they are for you: 16 pts, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and one amazing block! He only played until the middle of the 3rd period. His dad decided to pull him out and give some other boys more court time. 

Isaac and Dennis were able to go with the team to a BYU game. Isaac's coach has some sort of connections to the team through his time playing with the University of Hawaii so after the game they hung out to meet some of the players. They got autographs from the "player of the game" Zack Seljaas,  Kyles Davis, Kyle Fischer, Nick Emery, and Nate Austin. They also shook hands with Coach Dave Rose. Very fun night! 

Isaac's second game stats: 26 pts  4 blocks,  3 rebounds, 2 assists. He was a little more possessive of the ball this game.  Their whole team was.  They won 39/26.
