Basketball

Carter was one of the six 7th graders that made the Jr High basketball team.

This is a huge accomplishment with him being so small in height and showing his skills.  There was over thirty 7th graders that tried out for the team.  I love his determination!

A cute sign made by the cheer leaders.

He was also able to achieve honor roll status with his grades.  That is very impressive with how much school they missed with games and juggling early morning and after school practices.  This was such a great learning experience for him. So proud of him!

He also played on a competition basketball team in his spare time. Ha Ha. This kid loves to be busy with sports activities and we love to watch him!
