HOUSTON COUNTY: Our round 3 on UPWARD Basketball.
On Saturday it was UPWARD Basketball day at Memphis Baptist Church. We were there to watch grandson Brantley play UPWARD. Brantley is 5 years old.
As I watched him thoughts of John Curtis and Spencer’s days playing Upward came to mind. John Curtis is 23 and Spencer is 20. So it was sometime ago they played.
As I looked around many faces are still there working. As coaches, referee’s, in the kitchen many working, those putting up the tunnel, everything to make things happen.
Two who worked when Spencer played are still there today, Matthew and Beth Wilson. I remember the days when Matthew and Mr. Gary Manz talked of the tunnel and ways to quickly inflate an deflate for kids to run out of the tunnel. And Saturday Matthew and Beth were there working. I asked Matthew this morning, 13 years of working UPWARD.
Many others. And those who pray for UPWARD before time to begin.
THANKS to those who make things happen.
