E- TOWN

We have been busy watching  Travis Jr. and Michael play on this AAU traveling team. We appreciate Coach Jones and all the time he dedicates in be-half of these kids. It's been such a great experience. Here is a article the local news had on them below:
e town lobos
This past weekend the newest Southern Utah AAU Basketball team, our E-Town Lobos, went to Las Vegas to try their hand for the second time in as many weeks against some of the best basketball players in the West.  The Lobos, clad in neon and black, were undersized but competed well against all-star teams from all over the West.  E-town, founded just two months ago, is comprised of Enterprise area players instead of following the AAU model of organizing teams drawn from multiple high schools.  ”We knew it was going to be difficult to compete,” Region 13 MVP Justin Prisbrey said, “but we love playing together and decided we would succeed as a team or fail as a team.”  The Lobos are made up of players who all played varsity basketball for Enterpise High last year.  Juniors, Justin Prisbrey, and Dallin Holt, Sophomores, Isaac Wallin, Jake Jones, Travis Dougherty, Ricky Ramos, Connor Phelps and Koden Hunt, and the lone Freshman, Michael Dougherty.
The Lobos have had to grow up quickly according to head coach Barry Jones. ”These AAU teams are big, fast, and athletic”. ”We need to play as a team with energy and the ability to learn quickly from our mistakes in order to compete.” The Lobos played well this past weekend winning a double overtime game against Team Spartan behind Justin Prisbrey’s 32 points, 14 rebounds and 6 blocked shots. Things looked bleak for the Lobos who were down 6 with 22 seconds to go in regulation. However, Jake Jones downed a three point bomb. On the ensuing in-bounds pass, there was a scrum at half court. The Lobos came out with the ball and Connor Phelps nailed a 3 point basket as time expired to send the game into overtime. In the second overtime, Dallin Holt scored the winning basket on a baseline drive past two Spartan defenders. The Lobos finished second in pool play, but did not move into the Sunday playoff games because the players voted to not play on Sunday. The Lobos next play at the Memorial Day Tournament in Salt Lake City.

OUR FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OUR FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Parents need to "play offense" - to capitalize on the impressionable years of childhood by instilling in their sons the antecedents of character. Their assignment during two brief decades will be to trasform their boys from immature and flighty youngsters into honest, caring men who will be respectful of women, loyal and faithful in marriage, keepers of commitments, strong and decisive leaders, good workers, and secure. And of course, the ultimate goal for people of faithis to give each child understanding of scripture and a lifelong passion of Jesus Christ. This is, I believe. the most important responsibility for those of us who have been entrusted with the careand Nurturance of children.

Christmas In Elma!!

We left for WA the 13th of December - I barely made it to Seattle to hand the kids over to my Dad and catch a flight to Atlanta where I would join Trav for his company Christmas Party the next day. Trav and I had a fun get away and were able to do a little Christmas shopping. We stayed Thursday, Friday and Saturday and flew back to Seattle Sunday morning where we stayed until January 3rd - We were able to catch a Elma Boys Basketball game. The boys thought it was really cool looking at all the family(uncles & aunts) names on the walls before you entered the Gym doors. Michael and I went and Chatted with Coach Nadau one afternoon. It was so fun spending time with family and friends
