Another Thursday, another Special Olympics basketball game. Xander is slowly getting used to the format, though he's not all that happy about it. He LOVES to shoot baskets. As one of the youngest, and therefore smallest, players on the team, he doesn't get many opportunities to shoot during the actual game. He dribbles the ball back up court, where he supposed to pass. Or, sometimes, he simply travels with the ball and tries to get to his sweet spot, about five feet out from the goal to shoot! He had a special cheerleader in the audience tonight, he beloved special education teacher from school. He LOVES Mrs. B, and has been having a great year in her classroom. He was so excited to see her in the stands, and came over to sit next to her during several breaks when he was off the court!
