My Husband...part 2

So last night was the start of Panther Basketball 2008-2009...so naturally it brought back memories of last year which literally was a Cinderella story and such an amazing accomplishment. To back up, for those of you who don't know, the Panther's were State Champs and definitely the underdogs who had NUMEROUS upsets throughout the season! I give lots of credit to the amazing head coach and his coaching staff. Hey - I can do that cause I write this blog - not Jason :) Jason and that brain of his seriously AMAZED me last season. The guy's brilliant when it comes to basketball...seriously. Again, I know I'm his wife, but a state championship in your second year as head coach doesn't lie!!
So here we go, starting a new season, losing a chunk of last year's team - and last night we played Springdale which has some pretty good talent!! Throughout the game they were beating us, sometimes as much as 15 points. We didn't have the lead until the last couple of minutes, and were truly out-talented - but not out-coached. :) So here comes the brains of my brilliant husband, shuffling his cards around, and low and behold we freaking WON the game. I don't know how the hell he does it to be honest!!!!! I've stopped trying to figure it out and just enjoy the fact that I'm married to one hell of a coach!!!
In all seriousness, God has truly blessed Jason as a coach - it's unbelievable how hard that guy works and I know God recognizes that and honors him for it. I really am excited to see what God has in store for Jason's career...I love just sitting back and watching him utilize his gifts of communication, of leadership, of connecting with young kids and creating passion within them - as I've said before, Jason definitely doesn't lack in the passion arena. :)

Here are some press pics from last year's championship....what an amazing time! And we had just found out we were pregnant the week before the state finals...crazy times!!!
