The four oldest Sexton's have always loved basketball. The three youngest have been pretty indifferent about the game......until this year. Something clicked and instead of asking if they can stay home from going to a game of Trey or Allie's, they now get more excited than if they were going to a birthday party. Between Trey and Allie we sometimes had 3 games a week, so everyday the kids would ask "is there a game today?!?!?! It didn't stop with watching their siblings. Tanner, Connor and Sydney are college basketball fans as well. They have each been to 2 UT games this year and prefer to watch college basketball on tv over pretty much anything else. Their enthusiasm can be seen in the handmade signs they make to go to games, and in the comments they make to the refs when there is a bad call, i.e.: "oh, come on ref! You've got to be kidding me!" Connor needs to work on not getting upset with a loss, however.
When Connor was the "student of the week" he even answered that shooting hoops was his favorite thing to do. He goes outside to shoot pretty much every day.
Tanner and Connor like to take turns sitting on the bench with David during Trey's games and being the assistant coach.
Watching Allie play in her church ball games is especially exciting since I help coach and the kids know all the girls playing on the court.
We wish it could be basketball season all year long!
