Junior Year Basketball

Eric just finished his junior year of basketball at Desert Hills High School.  He has enjoyed playing basketball since he was a small kid.  To make the high school team was competitive and some of his friends didn't make the cut this year.  DHHS has a talented student body and Eric was glad to make the team.  Everybody had high hopes for a championship team because of the depth and talent of the team. They started out playing good in the preseason, then struggled in the first round of region games only to  come back strong and get some great wins in the second round.  Again hopes were high as they traveled up to Bear River High in Tremonton, Utah for the first round of the State playoffs.  They lost the game in overtime.  It was a long drive home according to Eric.  Even so, it was fun to watch Eric play basketball and be involved in sports and the basketball team.  Some of the home games had standing room only in the gym with the student body filling the stands with lots of excitement and spirit.  That had to be a lot of fun!  Eric did get most of his playing time in the JV games each week and continues to be a strong foul shot shooter and is also known for his 3-pointers.  A few games this year,  the whole family was sitting in the stands cheering him on.  Babys included!
