January 25th update
The freshman team won! 37 to 28 against Fairfield in the Hamilton County tournament tonight! Bennett played really good. I am so happy that he wasn’t pooped out. He had a lot of energy and aggressiveness! He made 6 points! he shot four times and making it three of those; pretty good percentage! We play again Wednesday night at 8:00 against Eldorado in the tournament. He will have driving again that morning and another long night, hopefully he can duplicate tonight’s showing!
Hamilton had a game tonight too with the in-house team before Bennett’s game, and they lost by a few points. Hamilton didn’t play very well. His team plays again tomorrow night. The boys have 3 games each this week so we have plenty of ball games to go too.
When Bennett went to the locker room to change his clothes after the game. His duffel bag with his clothes in it was all wet. I guess the team before us took a shower after their game and got his bag and clothes all wet. Ugh! When he got home, I went through everything and was laying out everything to dry. He told me that he had a small bible in the side zipper part that’s probably all wet too. I asked him where did you get the bible? (thinking maybe someone was passing them out). He indicated that it’s one of his bible’s that he put in there, can’t I carry a bible? Of course, I quickly added . Bennett’s not a big talker so he is probably not carrying on conversations about God to his friends or team mates. I just pray that his witnessing is being seen by others and he continues to be a believer and example of our Lord and Savior.
