Ok, I am going to do a little venting here. I signed the boys up for basketball with their school here in Geronimo OK. I knew it wasnt going to be anything big because they were going to be playing only other kids from their school. First practice I find out that their games are at the half times of the highschool boys and girls basketball games. No biggy, their games might be quite as long, but they should play for what, about 20 minutes? Wrong, we go to the first game.. and wait almost an hour for the girls game to start. Half time rolls around and Logan goes out to play. His game is 6 minutes long, and there are subs, so he plays for 3 minutes. Then we watch the rest of the girls game and have to wait for the boys game to start. Watch the first half of the boys game, and Riley goes out to play. He is on the bench for the first 3 minutes and his coach subs him in. A player on the other team is hurt at this time and they take time to get him off the court. ( Not complaining about the kids being hurt here. ) They dont stop the clock. So Riley plays for less than 3 minutes. I sat in the gym for over 2 1/2 hours to watch my boys play basketball for that. I did not stay for the second half of they boys game.

Luckily I was telling this story to a friend at church and she is coaching the Fort Sill basketball team and her team needs players. So she calls Youth Sports to see if there is any way to get the boys signed up, even though they have missed the deadline. And yeah, They get to play!! They are still going to play asmuch as they can with their Geronimo team because they want to. But I would enjoy watching them play more!
