Dax Basketball

Dax on the dribble!

Dax played another year in Junior Jazz with Dad as his coach. He loves basketball so much! And he loves having Randy as his coach. Dax is such a great little shooter, and he is so speedy. No one can keep up with him on the court. In fact, Dax dominated the competition so much, that he was recruited by several other teams playing in serious leagues. We decided that he is committed to baseball so we can't handle a serious basketball team, too.

Dax didn't have much help on his team this year, but he still led them to a 6-0 record to start the season. His team had to play the two toughest teams over the last two games, though. He played really well in the penultimate game, and his team had a three point lead with under a minute to play. Unfortunately, they had a bad turnover when no one would pass the ball in, and they lost by one point.

In the final game Dax's team led most of the way before losing 52-48. Dax had six 3-pointers (no one else made one all year) and 38 total points in the loss. He wasn't a ball hog, though. He helped all the players on his team to score when they were ahead, and he consistently passed more than he shot until those last two games. Even though they ended up 6-2, everyone knew who the best player on the court was!

Dax is a great ball handler, other than the carrying.

He beats everyone down and makes a layup.

Dax is a great leader on the court, too.

Dax loves being with his dad on the basketball court

He played great defense!

Look how happy he looks!

Dax shot pretty well from the line.

Mark made himself the unofficial assistant coach.
