Today was the 3rd annual Red vs. Green family basketball game. This is something that us boys in the family started a few years ago and it has turned into a heated family competition. The build-up involves months worth of planning and organization as we arrange schedules and a facility to host this family event.
This year, Marcy's Dad retired from the game and the Red team had a big free agent signing with Kyron joining the team as a player. The game was tightly contested through 4 quarters with Caleb leading the Green team in scoring and Caeden leading the Red team. Kyron proved his value on the court scoring more points in his first game than his Dad and Uncle Travis did combined!
At the end of regulation, the score was tied 40-40 and we were prepared to call it a tie, but after some negotiation from the boys we agreed for a single overtime period. Five minutes later we were still tied at 47-47 when the final buzzer went off.
Our boys are starting to take this game a little too serious and all the adults were nervous about the potential of driving home with someone from the losing team in their car. I think we've decided we need to change the format of this game and find another family we can play against. That way our family can be united as we win or lose. :-)
Big shout out to Uncle Travis for providing the custom team shirts for the game and to Kyron who was chosen as the game MVP for not only his 12 points in scoring, but his "just having fun" attitude. The video below shows the consensus play of the game by Kyron.
