It is my new goal

Greetings dribblers.

Last night at church after the youth meeting I went outside with a few of the younger boys to supervise. The church has an outdoor basketball court. With the warmer weather the guys love to go out and shoot hoops. The basketball goal is adjustable in its height. Most of the time is about six feet high. That is shorter compared the usual nine or so foot high goal. The youth like it because they can dunk. There is nothing more satisfying to them than to be able to "power dunk."

The time before I went out with the youth I was only adult supervision. They did not need me to play. That was fine. I am not even sure the last time I played basketball. Last night to make the numbers even I played. I was okay, but not great. I made a few points and even dunked once. Of course I was wide open at the time. I did make an air ball or two. To my lackluster defense I threw it over the goal.

It was pretty interesting to play. It had been a long time since I have played. I probably would have embarrassed myself more if the goal had been regulation height.
