A Legacy in the Making….
Three years ago, in the beginning…we won our first trophy.
So we decided to get more serious…We practiced whenever we could…
and played whenever we could.
And when we couldn’t practice or play, we watched and learned….
And when we weren’t practicing, playing, watching, and learning; we were spending time together as a team….a family
Graduations…Aron Watler Denson Watler
Adventures….Ziplining in West End Paintballing in French
Key
Church Services…Harvest at Methodist Methodist School
Celebration
Sharing in all of the things they loved….Decorating my daughter’s play room
Thanksgiving feast
And some of the things I loved…Downward dog at sunset Finishing our sun
salutation
Becoming more than just a team, but a family.Nurt and his Grandmother
My daughter’s graduation
Flowers Bay Boys became a way of life…but we wanted to do more.
So we painted an HIV Prevention Mural in our communityThe first few strokes Nearly there…
And it was beautiful!
Then we did an HIV Prevention/Safe Sex Event…Teaching other youth about safe sex
Protecting yourself is cool!
And karma paid off…we got the first real basketball court built in our community!!!!First game on the court Yeah!!!!
So we played, and played, and played, and played….
And then we got officially inscribed into the National Basketball Federation of Honduras
And that same month 8 boys from our community got
chosen to play basketball on scholarship in Tegus
So we got an idea and took a trip to the Mainland
Lucky Nurt who got to tag along
And we went to see how amazing our boys were performing both in school and on the court
Winning their division tournament
Representing the Island!
So we tracked down Neil Roberts, who started an organization that helps youth in Honduras get scholarships for basketball. And we showed him videos of the Flowers Bay Boys.
And he was so impressed that he organized a training camp in June of 2013 so that other recruiters from both Honduras and the United States could come watch us play ball. So we took the journey….
And won EVERY game we played
We learned a lot of new drills
