Copper Hills hosts a Bantam Basketball league each Winter. This is for "school" teams (not all-star teams) in a preparatory league. All the games are held at Copper Hills, which is so nice and close (and home court advantage, although that doesn't really come into play at this age). Colton and his Grizzlies were ready to play! Coming off their championship win from Fall, they were knocked down a peg in their first game against a really good Bingham team. In a rematch later in the season, the boys made a better showing (although still couldn't quite get the win). Nail-biter OT win against Olympus in the first round, then Olympus took the next two games. The other games were fairly easy wins for the Grizzlies.
Several of the boys were doing double duty, playing on two teams. We missed Austin and Blake in a few games. Happily, there were no direct conflicts with Colton's Wolves team. The Bantam games were earlier, and the Dimple Dell games were later in the day on Saturdays. There were some odd breaks (while the Copper Hills gym was being used for drill team and other competitions) and then some double headers, but it all worked out.
Unfortunately, Colton's knee was giving him issues (jumper's knee and bursitis) for the final few games of the season. He didn't miss any Grizzlies games (he did have to skip several Wolves ones), but sat out a couple practices and didn't feel 100% for the final two games. Hoping the break before Spring will help with the healing!
