Basketball games!

I promised you pictures of Wade playing basketball, so I tried very hard to get some this weekend!  I think I need to experiment with my camera some more to figure out how to take the best pictures of fast motion and things like that, but these will have to suffice for now :).  

Covenant played Bluefield College on Friday night and UVA-Wise on Saturday.  They lost the Bluefield game (guys in blue uniforms in the pics below) and won the exciting UVA-Wise game (red uniforms).  The Saturday game was crazy, because about 2/3 of the way through it, the Virginia-Wise coach got really upset at a call and started all-out yelling in the refs' faces many things that should not be repeated.  Their bench got all into the fray as well, and they ended up with two technical fouls on the coach and one on a bench player from that one argument.  The coach then was ejected from the game, and he stormed off the court, pushing over the water coolers on his way out, which they proceeded to mop up for about 10-15 minutes.  Dan Nielson then shot (and made) six free throws in a row for all those technicals, and then someone else shot two for the foul that the call was about in the first place!  It was quite exciting :).

Wade playing defense... he's number 24 in white.

Again on the D.

Wade making some free throws - I love the hand position ;-).

Wade shooting some more FTs against the thugs of UVA-Wise.  Those guys had 9 fouls in the first 5 minutes of the game, before Covenant even had one.


Yay, I'm so proud!  After the game - you can see the 75-72 scoreboard in the background.  It was close til the end, but Covenant held them off and pulled out the W.
