Tay Good, BUT BO is AWSOME....

This is going to be a long one so I am going to write notes on what I will need to talk about... 6'10", rebounding, passing, official, diving for the ball, shooting, 7 points with 4 minutes, Joshua and Taylor.... So I will edit this when I have time to go for it.... Let's start with 6"10"... Palmdale has a player that is much larger than everyone else on the court... Oh there is 4 other players on their team that is in the 6'5" range but his one player is huge... Well, he was given a lob pass deep in the key and he turned around to shoot and Bo came up and blocked his shot... He flyswatted it right out of bounds... He then preceded to scream a loud scream at him... The referee quickly came up and started to chatise Bo for taunting, but then Bo said something to him and I saw the official starting to laugh... I found out later that Bo told him that he could not believe that he could block his shot.... It started a rampage for Littlerock high and they were playing in a frenzy mode and it was all positive... To my utter surprise Bo started to rebound... I believe that Bo got about 10 rebounds in the 2nd half... Oh he didn't jump higher than them but he boxed them out so he was able to get the rebound in front of him as he jumped as high as he could... And everytime he grabbed the rebound he would scream again... He made some of the most beautiful passes.... He got the loose ball one time and threw a forty foot pass to a player already going to the basket and without breaking stride dunk the ball... Bo was constantly hitting the open man with pin point accuracy.... One time he dove for a ball that was about 15 feet away from him and others were closer but as he was sliding on the ground he grabbed the ball and one of those 6"5" guy jumped on top of him and started pushing him while he was on the ground, well the people in the stands were rushing down because they thought the kid was going to beat up Bo, but they both got up and then the crowd went wild yelling Bo's name and giving him a standing ovation... There was only about 30 of us but we were loud and excited... Bo made 3 three pointers and a two pointer in the second half and I personally feel that Preston the point guard blew it by not getting the ball to Bo more because he was hot.... Lttlerock was beat by 40 points the night before by Lancaster and the better team Palmdale was only winning by 7 points with four minutes to go in the 4th quarter... The score was 32-16 at half time... Bo fouled out with two minutes remaining and Palmdale got some easy baskets and end up beating them by 18 points... It was an awsome game and one that I will never forget... Bo will probably never play a game like that again.... Josh and Taylor both wrote on Facebook as soon as they got home.... Wow, I am a lucky Dad... Taylor's team won again and she hit a beautiful 3 pointer and she is really playing good defense now... Night... 39

I'm so sad I missed the real deal.
