Callum's B-ball Game 1/30/13

Okay--I'm going to try posting an edited video of Callum's basketball game from today.  First, here are a couple of pictures:


Our Jr. high team consists of 6th-8th graders.  The first 4 quarters, the older boys played and won by a ton of points.  Then they play 2 extra quarters where the younger (smaller) boys get to play against the other team's smaller/younger boys.

The goal of the team was to get the ball to Callum as much as they could (even if he missed passes or had the ball stolen from him) so he could shot and make a basket.  They did a great job giving Callum the ball--and kept giving it to him even when he turned it over.  
The video shows his 2 (made) shots, his foul, and the team congratulating him after the game.
I had tears in my eyes after he made the 1st basket--just because of how the bench reacted to Callum's success.  It was awesome.  We had a great bunch of youth here and I love how they try to help Callum succeed.
