Elliott had his first basketball scrimmage and practice last night since the holidays. He had a New Year's resolution to step up his defensive activity after watching the video I shot of his last game. Well, he lived up to the resolution. He got into the game and smothered his opponent. Knocked the ball out, tied it up for a jump ball, moved his feet, ran back on fast breaks to break up the play, etc. I had told him he doesn't ever want to come home from a game or practice not tired. So he gave it his all and was worn out. That was a good night.

Earlier in the day, he had another Math League competition. His school still holds the top three rankings and he is #14 out of 59 individuals. Pretty good.
