Jackson started playing basketball recently, in the Upward program at Calvary. His Tigers had their first game on Saturday. Upward is a very structured program, with mandated roughly-equal playing time. At this age, they don't keep score and have a constant clock. To prevent the hoop equivalent of beehive soccer, each kid on the floor gets a colored wristband, matching the color of one of the 5 kids on the other team. That's how they know who to guard.
One of my friends at work has a son on the team, too. And my boss had a daughter who cheers for us (well, they cheer for all the teams at once).
In his first game, Jackson was awarded what we considered the top award: "Most Christ-like". (at the risk of being un-Christ-like by thinking of it as the top award) He is such a good-hearted kid.
