Kei's Basketball Team

Kei began 9th grade basketball on April 1st with a new coach. This coach has a reputation for making strong teams--even with no strong individual players. His teams have been top in our city. So Kei is quite excited for his last half year of basketball here. (Ninth graders only play the first half of the year since they have to study hard for high school entrance exams.) Takeshi and I went to cheer on Kei and the team at the opening games for this season. Kei's team won 73-40. It is fun to watch Kei (#18) play. He is quite a strong all-around player. He was feeling really good at the end of this game as he sunk the final basket just as the buzzer went off--3 pointer to boot! Doesn't get much better than that! (In this video clip, Kei starts out on the left and gets the rebound and passes to #33 who passes to #7 who passes back to Kei.)
