Congrats phats. Has this inspired your younger two kiddos to want the same?

Thanks!

Yeah, I think so. At least, the possibility. They'll be far more prepared, I think.

At this point, they really just like playing basketball and aren't thinking so much about college, especially the freshman (Liv). I think Al (sophomore) is starting to think about it a bit more...

Awesome. Hoping they get the same opportunities. Nicely done on the parenting.

Not quite a full ride, but so incredibly close that it doesn't matter. And we're only 20 minutes away so she can live at home her freshman year and decide if she wants to live on campus as a sophomore or just keep living at home.

Thank goodness she's an incredible student. That was key.

And Lewis and Clark ain't cheap either!
 
Kait has been training, getting sharp for her next Freshman season. She's working some camps for L&C this summer.

Here's a clip of her working with some really good high school boys.

Thanks for the updates bro! I will be at all home L&C games this winter heckling your daughter with signs…..In a Laker jersey!
 
Al (#10) and Liv (#2) joined a fall league with some other girls who had some free time this fall and didn't want to spend so much money on club ball. Rolling out as Hoop Dreamz vs a tough Beaverton team.

Not much gym availability right now so we can't get everybody on the team together for practice. Just working on skills in our own time then showing up and playing on the fly.

Still hanging with all the other teams though, and getting some wins against some tough teams. This clip below is from a close win after a back and forth game vs Beaverton on Saturday.

Good stuff. That quick pass by Al off the broken play at 0:29 was very nice.

I see a few things they could work on and am currently putting together a power point presentation with Coach Billups and will send it to you shortly.
 
First official college game for Kaitlen! Traveled to Texas, and the kid came to play. Dropped 16pts along with 5 rebounds.

She loves this team. Loves her coaches. I'm so happy for her.

First year Kaitlen Carns had a tremendous debut. Carns finished with 16 points on 5-10 shooting and hit five of her six free throws. Carns added five rebounds and finished second on the team with 32 minutes and 45 seconds of game time.

I just took a look at her schedule. She has games against my school (11/23), my wife's school (11/21), my daughter's school (11/30), and my son's school (1/25, 2/21).

I hate that I'm gonna have to root against your girl so often, but such is life...

It's all part of the fun!
 
Some videos... the first collegiate bucket was a step back 3. Here are a few more clips that we let run a bit longer, since the announcer was talking about her. The announcer did a great job. Not sure where he got Oregon City, California from though... I'll look forward to watching games with an announcer now. That actually adds a lot.

SideNote: I would totally shut her down…..I’m forcing her to the middle and she’s got nothing on @THE HCP #BAM
