Victory - Boys Basketball vs Shelbyville

Week 2:  basketball vs Shelbyville Ward

Robert's basketball team has their second season game today at 11:30 against Shelbyville.  Today Mason, Ben, Robert, Ryan, Nash, Noah, Jate, Andrew and Ben are able to play.

The game will run the same amount of time, but there will be no warm up time, and no time inbetween quarters because there is a wedding reception immediately following the game.

Robert starts and takes the tip.  He's got a great stretch.  The Harmony boys are playing great, but losing the pass at the last moment, or just missing the basket.  You can tell they didn't get a chance to warm up - but the same is true for the other team.

Half time score 13-9 (our lead).

Robert starts the second half and they go after it.  Between Robert, Ben and Mason, we control and dominate the game.  Robert feeds Mason the ball - swoosh!!!   Shelbyville wasn't able to score that quarter.

Third quarter 13-29

The pattern continues in the fourth quarter.  The team works well together.  I think almost everyone scored (not the Deacons).  Mason lead with points and Robert lead with assists, 2nd in points.  From half time on, the team doubled Shelbyville's score.

Victory 19 - 42!!!

Another Creasey FC win

After a full day of sports, Robert and Ryan Geoghegan had a soccer game at 6:30 against KCD players (I think).

They had a great game winning by 2 points.  Final score was 8-10.

I don't have any photos because Robert likes for these games to be just with his peers - no parents.

Creasey Mahan Soccer scores another Victory over Henry County

After a full day of sports, Robert and Ryan Geoghegan had a soccer game at 4:30 against Henry County.  A few friends from the OCS team are on the Henry County team - Trevor and David. 

They had a great game winning by at least 5 or 6 points.  They couldn't remember...

Boys Basketball - Harmony vs Crestwood 2nd - arch rivals

It's the BIG day, the first basketball game of the season and it's against one of the toughest teams in the league - Crestwood 2nd Ward.  Crestwood 2nd (C2) has Ryan Dodson, Josh McComber (6' 2") and other talented players.  They will be hard to beat. 

Ryan Geoghegan showed up at our house around 11:00.  We had pancakes for breakfast and then Robert and Ryan went to the stake center to warm up.  Mark and I came about 10 minutes before the game. 

The Harmony team consisted of:  Robert Lowe, Ryan Geoghegan, Nash Dewsnup, Noah McKinley, Andrew Tarbet, Jate Longhurst and Ben Dobson.  Many of the boys couldn't be there:  Mason Rice (swim meet) (Robert's soccer friend), Ben O'Brien (swim meet) and Sam O'Brien (broken finger).

Today's game started at 12:30 pm.  We are the home team.  Robert took the tip and won the toss.  Robert scores the first basket of the game - a nice drive and layup.  Then we score again, then Crestwood 2nd.  Robert and Ryan were a great team against C2.  At the end of the first quarter we were 9-11 - we have the lead.  During the second quarter, Robert had to be out for 4 minutes.  In those 4 minutes C2 took the lead and advanced it to 25-14.  OUCH!!!  Our team could not stop Ryan Dodson from scoring.  Robert started the third quarter.  He took charge and control.  He and Ryan Geoghegan did a fantastic job of distributing the ball.  With only 49 seconds left in the 3rd quarter, Harmony tied the score at 26-26.  Then they scored again with only 15.5 seconds left 28-26.  The crowd goes crazy (not really, but boy we were excited).  Someone had fouled Robert on a shot just a the buzzer so he got to take a free throw - swoosh - He scored one of the two. End of 3rd quarter 29-26.   They not only caught up but they took the lead!!!  Fourth quarter we just continued the scoring - we scored 2 more baskets (33-26) before they scored again.   With 2 minutes remaining in the game the score was 37-30 (a 7 point lead).  In the last 2 minutes everyone was hustling, C2 was desperate to score.  There also was a lot of turn over and fouls.  One of C2's players fouled out.  Harmony held onto the lead winning the game 37-33.

Way to go - HARMONY!!!

After the game Robert and Ryan went to support Mason and Ben at the swim meet.  Mason and Ben both dive.  Mason took 1st place, and Ben took 2nd.  After the swim meet, Robert and Ryan had there own Creasey Mahan soccer game to get to... they won that game also - by a lot!!! 

Betsy invited Ryan and D-Roy (David Roy) to have steaks and ribs with us after their game.  It was a great night.  The boys played ping pong, chess and basketball outside.
