8 years ago we brought Lucy home. They told us "she can't walk, can't talk, she is abnormal" Now she won't stop talking, plays in the band, shoots hoops, does the laundry, cleans the dishes, helps her sis and NEVER complains. God is Good!

When I tell people we have 8 kids, 5 adopted, 3 with special needs. The next question usually is, "How do you do it?" They all help each other is how. And Lucy is an angel.

I've watched 6 HS games live and 2 on tape. HS refs need to realize what level they are reffing. Stop calling touch fouls. All it does is slow the game down. See the whole play & call the obvious.

Why can't kids go to the gym and just "shoot around?" I see these trainers/coaches on here always telling kids to go "game speed" Sometimes shooting around, playing HORSE or playing "Beat the Pro" are the best times. Dont make kids hate the gym. It's a GRIND anyways.

Fun atmosphere. Fast pace. 30 second shot clock. Outstanding shooters. Local players. Great coaches. Great officiating. And only 4 blocks from my house.

My son E said someone was making fun of Lucy at summer school. A boy said she creeps him out. E says back to him "Well, you're ugly and you creep me out" We have always taught them to stick up for each other.
