Arik Scores!

Arik on the prow'll


In the third official game of the Upward Basketball season Arik scores his first basket! What a thrill. Taking control of the ball on a defensive rebound, Arik dribbled the ball into friendly territory.








After a series of graps and parries, he successfully defended his postion for a last second shot below the hoop. Up, up, up the ball went...and when it descended it went right into the net's bullseye. The audience exploded! Parent's (at least one) stood up on their feet to applaud the astounding shot.

Regrettably, the photograper was too caught up in the moment and missed the climatic event. No matter, it will be recorded for posterity - be sure of that.





After the game the Coach awarded Arik a gray Star for "Best Offense". Here he sits enjoying the spoils of his victory - Oreo cookies.
