League Director
and Children's Ministry Coordinator Terry Kerr, assists Katie Kemp with
a shot. Explains Katie: "I wanted to play here because it was more fun
than playing at my school. Playing at school made me nervous. I'm not
nervous here." Katie is a fourth grader at Holly Springs Elementary and
the daughter of Shelly and Jim Kemp.
It's hoops time again! My choice this year
is once again the Upward Backetball league at Towne Lake Community Church.
Last year, a really cool thing happened in
Upward that I don't think would happen in most leagues. There was a very
special first grader named Brandon Leek.
Brandon was a neat kid, but he had a bit
of a problem. Brandon couldn't see very well. In fact, his mom and dad,
Terry and David Leek, said that he was legally blind for several years.
Anyway, we were getting close to the end of the season and Brandon hadn't
scored. So, one game, we all made sure that Brandon got the ball and that
he got to score! Even the opposing team helped! Then the coaches turned
Brandon upside down and pushed him through the basketball goal! It was
pretty neat! I can't wait to play again!
