For the first time ever, Hong Kong International School was able to put together a "traveling basketball team" for the Under 12 age group. The school has what is referred to as a "C-Grade" team that is mainly for 7th & 8th graders. Sixth graders are allowed to try out but even if they make the team, are not guaranteed playing time. So, HKIS created "D-Grade" team targeted at this group of kids. Since Trey (who's in 5th grade) played with the 6th-8th graders for the in-house basketball, we had him try out to play on this team as well. As it turns out, Craig was able to coach his team. They played in a few tournaments and ended up winning the Championship. For the season, their record was 23-0...not too bad for the school's first D-grade team.
This started as a blog to keep in touch with our friends and family during our expat experience in Hong Kong...now it has become about our day-to-day adventures in life!
