Lincoln's 1st basketball game

Lincoln is on a team with mostly older kids this year, one boy Lincoln told me, almost in awe, is SEVEN years old.  He seems to enjoy playing for the most part, although he has said several times that he is "not very good at scoring."  During the game, it was obvious he knew they were losing and did not like it when the other team scored.  He would jump up with his hands in the air when his team scored, or put his head down and hunch his shoulders down when the other team scored.  Afterwards I asked him if it was hard to keep track of who he was guarding and he said, "no, well not the first guy." I said why, and he said, "because I was WAY faster then him."  I was a little worried he was going to feel bad since it is pretty obvious he is one of the least experienced on the team. Guess that won't be a problem!
