The 7th grade Mendive Middle School boys basketball team went 10 - 0 this season.

I try not to brag to much in my blog about my children but I am so proud of my son, Alec, and his 7th grade basketball team for having such a great, fun and successful basketball season.

These boys worked extremely hard and finished their season winning all 10 games. They played hard but more importantly, they always showed great sportsmanship and were always respectful of each other and the players on the other teams.

My son Alec, is the cutie  young man pictured in the bottom left of this photo (for those of you interested). Great job Alec!

Congratulations to all the Mendive Magic basketball players and a big "Thank you" to the three coaches, Ray Charles (Not pictured), Hillary Talotti and Mr. Nemms, who did a wonderful job teaching these young men how to play, act and show respect during this season at Mendive Middle School!!
