We're the SPH Eagles of Kemang Village!
And the best part is that Chris designed it!
He's designed three different jerseys for our three teams this year! They got delivered just in time for the first tournament today!
(well, most of them. it's jakarta, so things like that happen)

Story time:
When Chris and his brothers were younger, they would occasionally hang out at Corban (western baptist then) after school hours while their dad (marty) was grading or attending late meetings. Their mom (linda) would draw large blank helmets on computer paper and let them draw away! It started out as just copying NFL logos onto the helmets and progressed into designing new team logos/jerseys as they got older. Chris is always the first to notice a team's new jersey design, and clues me in on the pros and cons of each. It's only fitting that he gets a chance to design his own! They look awesome! Here are the boys sporting their away jerseys.

All the 7-9 players |
Each of the teams played three games today (against the other SPH schools). The girls won all three of their games. The boys played some better competition and won one of three. It was a good day overall for Kemang Village basketball, and I give SO much credit to all the coaches! They have been working so hard with these kids, and its really showing. The level of the game is rising for both teams, and you can just see the kids having fun and feeling proud of themselves. We love it!
ps. I'm coaching the grade 5-6 girls team. For the most part, none of them have ever been coached before. It's been awesome to see them improve in just five weeks (two practices a week). I don't think we'll get to play any games until November, but I'll let ya know how that goes when the time comes. Right now we're just working on the basics :)
