Bennett played his last Freshman basketball game tonight at Massac County.  We lost by 4 points in the “A” game. Bennett got to play a few minutes each quarter.  He did really good defensively.  He really looked like he had a lot more energy.  In the 2nd half, we had 10 fouls called on us and Massac only had one.  The refs can really control the game and they sure did tonight.   He played all of the “B” game and we lost by 20 points.  Bennett played well with several rebounds, steal and 4 points.  He made a lay up shot and made 2 out of 4 free throws. 

Bennett has driving in the morning at 6:00 a.m.  It will be an early morning for him with getting home late from the game.  He should only have 1 or 2 more days of driving after tomorrow.  He’s excited about that.  It would be nice if he could get his license on his birthday but he will have to wait about 5 more months.  Lindy is just going to have to drive him around until August. 

We are so thankful and grateful to God that Bennett didn’t have any injuries playing basketball.  It can be a very physical game.  He has had several hard falls that looked really painful and dangerous.  We pray his bones continue to hold up through his high school career.  He will have a week off before baseball practice starts the beginning of March.

Praising the Lord for all his blessings!
