Lower and Preschool Night at the Cavdome

It gets just crazy at Carter’s basketball game when the little kids from her school are “invited” to come to the games. The young kids and their enthusiastic parents should be encouraged to come to every game because the make the whole thing much more rowdy and fun.
Tonight they played Cary Academy. I was not there for the JV girls game, but apparently the DA girls won. I got to the gym at the end of the JV boys and they blew it out 49-8. Then the Varsity girls took the court. They were still on a high from their Ravenscroft win two days ago.
They came out and took a commanding lead which they held for the whole game finished 63-29. The varsity girls were in charge of the half-time child friendly basketball musical chairs during the half of the Varsity boys game. Children’s name’s were called to come down the the center of the court and get paired up with a big girl. Carter got a kindergarten boy who was a little nervous about coming out to play with such a tall girl. She coaxed him into the circle by giving him the basketball.
The music started and the kids walked around the circle of chairs dribbling the ball. When it stopped they had to run to a basket and shoot. If they missed their big girl could shoot for them and then they had to run back to sit on a chair. Last one to the circle did not have a chair and they were out. Carter’s little boy made it through one round and then was out. It made little difference because it was all in fun.  
I did not stay for the second half of the boy’s game who were way up at the half so I am assuming they too won, making the Cavdome a clean sweep of CA.  
I am cherishing these last few games in Kirby gym. So many memories were made there. Hope the rest of the season is as successful.
