You can't live in Washington and be a basketball player and NOT go to Hoopfest at least once! We decided to give it a whirl this year and had so much fun that I'm sure it will be a yearly tradition for us until Ryson graduates High School (and maybe even after that).
Rysons team was called "4 lil white guyz" and they all shaved their number into their hair before leaving to Spokane. Rysons favorite number is 7 so I got the clippers out and went to town on the back of his head.
We got up early on Saturday morning and arrived in Spokane around 10:30am for our 11am game. We found parking at $15 a day (YIKES) and made our way down the streets trying to find our court. Next year we might opt for matching fluorescent shirts just so we can keep better tabs on where everyone is.
We found our court and lost our first two games. The team Ryson was on only practiced together twice and he only knew two of the other boys but I'm pretty sure he had a good time anyway. They ended up winning one game and losing 3 but he's already making plans for next year.
