Basketball Brothers
Cal and his crew have been playing in the Taylorsville Men's Semi-Competitive League for a few years now. Wednesday nights, a league for each season. Guys from the old Copper Hills basketball team along with whoever else they add (Colton comes during the summer season). This is a Semi-Competitive league (they once accidentally signed up for a rec league ... they need the higher level!)
WINTER
Winter season was January - March. Colton had his high school games going, and Wednesday nights are book club, so I only made it to one of the games this season. You can see the highlights HERE. Cooper went through the clips for me and laughed, as Cal had an open layup that didn't finish. Cal's face reflected the feeling, and Landon and Colton thought it was pretty hilarious too (Landon even made a little GIF of it). I asked Cal about the team name ... They are Ben and Jerrys (as Ben and Jared are two of their players).
SPRING
Semi-Finals/Championship June 19
They lost in the semi-finals by five ... so no Spring T-shirt. I guess I never got around to making a video of that final game. I was there watching and got video. It is so fun to see both Cal and Colton playing together (for the May game, Colton was available, but Cal had a full team. Other times they struggled to field five players!)
SUMMER
For some reason Cal couldn't sign up as Ben&Jerrys, so they were Hoopers Only for this season. I was able to attend all but week 6, which of course was their double header (so I missed two games). Colton was available for all the summer games, and won an award at the end of the season for being the leading scorer in the league. He was off to college for the playoff though ... Cal was gone for the semi-finals, but the team got the win ... and it was on to the championship game!

They got the T-Shirt!
Callahan (he's kind of the "coach" or at least the one in charge of getting them signed up) got the team registered for the Fall season ... but the rec center didn't get enough teams for the semi-comp Wednesday night league. There is also a Monday option, but by the time Cal found out the Wednesday night league wasn't happening, the Monday league was filled. No Fall Ball :( We joked that they'd scared all the other teams away, and Colton chimed in that they really didn't want to play without him anyway.
