JJ, the baller

Jake recently represented his elementary school in a  free throw hoop shoot contest.  He made the most free throws out of all the 8-9 year boys in his school.  He made 13 out of 15. He advanced to the district level and competed against other students from his school district.  If he had won at this division he would have competed in Dallas and then would have had the chance to go to Springfield, Massachusetts and have his name in the Basketball Hall of Fame. 
Jake came in 4th place in the district competition.  He did so incredibly awesome and we are so proud of him.  I can't believe how much skill and passion he has for the game of basketball. 
Here is the video of him at the district competition where he came in 4th place.  He plans on being number 1 next year!

Round 1 of the contest:  5 warm up shots and then 10 shots.  Jake made 8 out of 10.

 

 

Round 2 of the contest:  No warm up and goal was to make 15 shots. Jake made 9 out of 15.  His nerves started to get the best of him.

 

 

We are so very proud of him!!! 

You rock JJ!
