MY FAVORITE COACHES

COACH ALEX, COACH TOM  AND COACH THOMAS
You know we do a lot with West Covina Youth Basketball League, right?
And did I mention that my family all coach a team? or two?

They each have their own regular teams they returned this year to coach.  Tommy and Alex both took on a second team, since we had so many kids and not enough coaches. Alex coaches the JUNIOR LAKERS, a team that has been together for the past % years.  They were coached by Thomas last year while she was in Korea.  So this year Alex has returned to take on the duties of head coach, and Thomas has stepped down to assistant coach.  So it was going to be a fun year watching my two kids coach together in the JUNIOR DIVISION.

Well my devoted hubby stepped and took a team in the JUNIOR DIVISION, who had no coach.  He couldn't even find a parent to step and become the coach.  Not don't get me wrong, I FULLY support Tommy in his coaching and helping of the youth sports...but you see he took the JUNIOR CLIPPERS!

Oh now you get my dilemma...since at east once in the season the JUNIOR LAKERS will take on the JUNIOR CLIPPERS...who will I cheer for???

So actually on Saturday night Feb 2nd, that's exactly what happened.  They played against each other.  Some family and friends came out to the see the younger Fraijos coaches go against the older Fraijo coach.  Even the friends and the board members all got into the game.

When I walked by people would top me and ask me who I was cheering for...my answer was answered with confidence.."Coach Fraijo of course!"

It was a good game to say the least, back and forth in the score...with the CLIPPERS win by one point at the buzzer.

I must say the game was good, their were no loser there that night. A full 40 minutes of some good, hard playing basketball by some great kids coached by my favorite coaches...THE FRAIJOS!

We even went to pizza with kids from both teams...and had a great time.
