CBA Championship Goes To Canyon Lake




First of all, I am a slacker blogger and am just now entering something that happened almost two weeks ago! My excuse might go hand in hand with why the journal thing never went so well with me huh?
But I am now here to happily exclaim that after six years of playing what our boys have dubbed the "CBA" (Church Basketball Association) Canyon lake has brought home the trophy. Every year they have made it to the final four or final game and had it taken away by the team who always wins. NOT THIS YEAR! We had an awesome coach and our guys played hard while maintaining true sportsmanship and Christlike attitudes. Everyone in the stake was so proud of them. Here are some pics of the celebration as it happened. YAY Canyon Lake! We love all you guys.


Coach David Smith. Thanks Coach.


Happy B. He's played six years of this and finally got one! I love that smile!


Rene making the three point shot that sealed the game for us. He said that when he went up for that one he said "This one is for Sister Draper." Hmmm.. Maybe I'm giving all my luck away to others and that's why I don't have any left for myself! Sweet though Rene. Thanks.


Crazy Jeremy. Bryan and him have known each other since Elementary school and four years ago he and his family were baptized. He's been there with B for a long time.


Rene making a free throw with B in the background trying not to get blocked out.


Cory is a non-member friend from Bryan's school who has played with them for two years. He was a key player through out it all. As soon as his parents allow it he wants to get baptized. He's a good kid.

These next pictures are just some snap shots of the celebration. Way to go team.





Celebrating the win! Way to go out B.

Cool Bryan!
And what a great thing to have such good friends to play with. Church is just not the same here. They don't have basketball! I am hoping and praying all the time for friendships and experiences like yours for your cousins as they head toward high school. I can't believe you're moving on.... with a championship, too!
