My son has a Jr. High basketball game that tips off at 6:00 as well. Hopefully I’ll be back for the second half but feel free to keep the game thread going in my absence. Post all your comments here before, during and after the ball game.

CC, don't leave us hanging

How did your son’s Jr. High game turn out?

They won big!

It was good for their confidence because they were riding a two game losing streak since the Thanskgiving break. Thanks for asking!

It's pretty cool at that age seeing those kids develop.

Unfortunately, the middle school my son goes to has maybe 2 kids that will play varsity basketball. They’re off to an 0-3 start. My son is built for football so he is good for 5 hard fouls.

I need to bring him up to Norman so he can see Blake Griffin in person. His game changed after we went to see the Mav’s last year. Something about being able to see it in person, it clicked.
