Ok, so I missed the first game since it was on the day of Alisha's wedding and Jase made a basket that game. Since then he has yet to score in a game and you can tell that he really wanted to make a basket. And of course Shawn and I are proud of him no matter what, but he gets right up to the basket and he dribbles off his foot or passes the ball and he loses he opportunity to shoot.
Today his team had 5 players and the other team only had 3, so when they asked for volunteers to join the other team, Jase was the first and only one with his hand up. So, we joined the Dallas Mavericks for the day! Only downfall about this is that he is still wearing his red Rockets jersey and playing on the other team. I think the referee honestly forgets that Jase is on the other team and does not get to dribble down as much as the other kids. And then he doesn't know anyone on the blue team, so not a lot of passes come his way.
Jase's team (Mavericks) had the ball and were coming down court. One little boy (Junior) had the ball and Jase says "pass, pass". Well the little boy passes the ball and Jase shoots and MAKES IT!!! He was so excited!! He jumped up and down with his fist in the air, and hi-fives Junior who passed him the ball...it was awesome!! We were all cheering for him and you would have thought he was 15 years old and hit the game winning shot! I was so happy for him and tears literally came to my eyes! It was so cool to see him score a basket! One game left...maybe he'll get another one and if not, I'm glad I was able to see him make this one! :)
