Callahan - JV

Another year, another tryout, and another team. Callahan has moved on up to the JV team at Copper Hills High School. He's SO excited to get playing again, and I love watching him play. So far they have had some pre-season play, the Elite8 Tournament, and a tournament in Orlando, Florida (in which they took first place!) It's almost time for the real season to start up ...

Here a link to the SCHEDULE and so I don't overwhelm the family Facebook, I set up an alternate account just for basketball stuff. JenB-BasketballMom. As the kids aren't really using FB anymore themselves, I also set up "Basketball Mom" accounts for Instagram and Twitter ... of course, now they are using SnapChat, right?  I'll be making muvees of every game I get to, and adding them to the YouTube Playlist Callahan-JV and posting links to the aforementioned social media.

Go Grizzlies!

Colton - Basketball Boy

Colton stayed busy with basketball year-round in 2015. Spring/Summer/Fall ... and now the actual basketball season! The 4th grade team he had played with in the Fall is doing the Murray Top Flight league. None of the other Blackham boys have tried this league before, so it will be a new one for the family. We also reconnected with his coach from Spring/Summer who is playing in a couple 5th grade superleagues for Winter. They had a spot on the team, so we re-joined them as well. So Colton is super busy with two practices and three games every week! He loves it!

Colton's Game Schedules

The 5th grade leagues started up first ... They have a 2-hour practice on Friday evenings at SLCC. For games, the Salt Lake Superleague on Wednesday nights, and the Dimple Dell league on Saturdays. Here's a quick clip ...

There have been some game conflicts (usually overlapping with Keaton) but I've hit every game I can, and Colton's friend Collin is available to give rides when I can't. While I generally make a muvee of each game for the older boys, sometimes I do need to combine a few to get enough highlights here. Here's the link to the first five games of Colton's 5th grade league.


After Christmas, the boys received brand new uniforms ... and they look pretty snazzy. Watch for them in upcoming muvees and clips.  The Murray (4th) grade league just started up in January, so I'll be making muvess of those games too.  If you want timely updates, check out my BasketballMom social media (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) where I  update asap.
