Dax had an awesome year playing Junior Jazz basketball with Dad as his coach. His team was five girls and five boys, and Dax worked hard to help the rest of his team have fun. Since he could score at will he made it a point to pass and get his teammates some points. There was one game where he made sure every single player on his team scored. This was no small feat since of his teammates have difficulty shooting the ball all the way up to the eight foot rim. Dax just kept rebounding and passing until everybody had at least one bucket. When the last player finally put it through (on about the tenth try) all the players and the crowd exploded. It was really exciting. Dax got the sportsmanship award for that performance.
Dax got really great at his layups.
Dax is quick so he can often beat everyone down the court.
Dax loved having Dad for his coach.
He took a lot of shots all alone!
We were proud of Dax's basketball season.
Dax's favorite moment of the season was making a buzzer beater. Dax was very aware of the clock, and all the time he was on the court he was checking the time. When it ran down to the final seconds, Dax would break free and launch a shot. Most times, this was not the most effective way to end the quarter. At the end of one half, though, he launched from just beyond half court and drained it. He and his brothers were very excited.
Dax's team won almost every game. He showed his mettle by hustling after every rebound, running past everyone and scoring countless layups, and best of all assisting his teammates in getting shots. It was another great season!
