Potato Race Tracker

[OttoinGrotto]

Due to being bummed out about the losses I've been neglecting my Shaky Potatoes Tracking duties. That said, I know a number of you have been waiting desperately for an update on the Potato Race Tracker. My rec league season is now over, but I ended it on a significant hot streak - last Wednesday I hit on 3 of 5 three point attempts, and last night I was a sizzling fried potatoes 4 of 6. My .333 percentage is pretty good considering this is not exactly an ultra-competitive league (I kid you not, one of the teams we played had a guy with a peg leg) and it actually pulled me just a little bit ahead of Cooney.

Potato Race Tracker; Cooney vs OiG 3 pt percentage in league play

Who will walk away with the coveted Danny Schayes Autographed Potato Cup?

If you don't mind, I added my 6 year old to your potato tracker. Let's call him Happy Meal. He has not hit a 3 pointer, and only taken a couple attempts from beyond the foul line. So, these are his layups, and really just wild guesses at his misses, and vague recollections of his makes.

Happy Meal scores a sh'load for a six year old.!

He'll be 7 in a couple months, and is a "senior" in his K-1 league. Like everyone else, he plays 2 7 minute quarters. He pretty much gets loose balls and rebounds and takes them back for layups. He's like a shark in a minnow pond when it comes to defense. He's a great shooter at home, but in games he gets excited and just hucks stuff up.

Most of the games I make him stop before making a layup and hand it off to someone else. I've got 5 kids whom have not hit a shot yet. I've got one other kid that scores like him. I never play the two together. There are 3 other kids whom can score. One is good for 3-4 a game. The other is good for 2, and the third, again, gets excited and just hucks stuff up.

Basketball is definitely a true team game. We've gotten crushed twice by a team that has 5+ competitive kids like my kid.

Meanwhile you are Boeheiming your other good kid and Triche'ing Happy Meal. You need to be fired.

That's an actual photo of JB sleeping before a game. http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2013/07/jim_boeheim_explains_the_photo.html
