Fifth Grade Basketball Keeps Dribbling

This is the third year of the fifth grade intramural program, in which fifth graders have the opportunity to play intramural sports at the conclusion of the academic day. Each season of intramurals runs about six weeks. Participation is completely optional; moreover, students can attend when they wish and are not obligated to come every day. We take advantage of the facilities not being used by the interscholastic sports. Thus, in the fall, we play basketball and have the entire Middle School Gym at our disposal. What a treat! Coach Wlodarczyk and I have the pleasure of coaching approximately twelve boys and girls three days per week this season in basketball. Yesterday, due to an injury, the Gold Team was short one player. I eagerly came out of retirement and joined the squad for about five minutes. I would like the official record book to show that I had an assist for the Gold Team!
