8th Grade Basketball Banquet

Coach Sydlowski, Chase and Nathaniel

Now I'm really frustrated. I've been trying for an hour to post some video of Chases basketball banquet on this blog and it won't load! Guess I'll just have to tell you about it but it won't be the same.

Everyone on the team received a medal and a certificate and the coach said alittle something about each player. Here's what he had to say about Chase: "What do you say about Chase?He's got a gorgeous shot, if you want a perimeter game...you're looking at chase Kreilach. He can play the 1,2 or the 3.He can score alot of points from the outer perimeter. What makes him great is you have a guy who can shoot but when that defense comes he also has that driving ability and he's got it with both hands, his right and his left. He is gonna be a fun kid to watch throughout highschool and beyond. Thanks for letting me coach you this year."

Chase and Brandon (his best friend) also won the "Floor leader award". Presenting the award the coach said "Anyone in the stands could tell who the teams leaders were . I had to challenge them at the beginning of the year and that they took the challenge.They have made this a team from their hard work and their dedication. They both changed their game for the betterment of the team, and I appreciate what they've done for Nathaniel and the entire team. These two gentlemen are fine leaders and individually, great basketball players. "

And seems there's more to the story of Nathaniel. (Remember Nathaniel from earlier posts?)I asked Chase why the coach had said he appreciated what him and Brandon had done for nathaniel and he said it was cuz it was his idea to put Nathaniel on the team. Apparently, Brandon was supportive of the idea. I never knew that it was Chase's idea. He never mentioned it.
