I've put photos from the entire basketball season in this post, give or take a game or two. Ben's senior season was incredible. The team played so well together with an overall record of 22-4, with their last loss coming to their rivals at the Huntsman Center. JB and I went to pretty much every game, home and away. We are so proud of all Ben accomplished, and how much he grew in strength, determination, resilience, kindness and friendship.

As a bonus for sticking around this far, here is a picture of Ben with his buddies. They had one last Jr Jazz game on Monday, March 2, the weekend after the state tournament, and since Ben was no longer playing high school ball, he went to play with them. said a guy on the other team was like, "Dude, you're good, you should play." That felt like a nice compliment!
