Team Clone Troopers

Every year, our school hosts a basketball league for elementary age kids. Every year, D and I make hundreds of shirts for all the players. This year we made one extra special shirt. Because Jake is finally old enough to play basketball.

At his first practice the players had to name their team. Jake offered up “The Clone Troopers” which barely beat out “The Gummy Bears” after a team vote.

He also got to pick his team’s shirts and picked the Caroline Blue.

Today was Jake’s first game. Aside from looking generally lost, he made two great passes, brought the ball down the court twice, managed to snag a rebound and took one shot. He made the shot and scored his team 2 of their 16 total points.

The Clone Troopers ended up losing by 2 points but it was back and forth for awhile and was actually tied with about 40 seconds left on the clock. We lost on a last second lay up by the other team.

Jake said it was way more fun than he thought it was going to be.
