Nick had to miss the end-of-the-year pizza banquet for Thrashers tonight because he flew into L.A. for a conference. After every game the coaches vote for who they thought were the best players on the opposing team, and at the end of the season the votes are tallied up. Named after the founder of the league, the top 5 players are named to the "All Hays Team", and Gunnar got a t-shirt for earning this honor.
At the very end of the night a trophy was given to the "ultimate Thrasher", which is not an MVP award (that would be Tyson Izzo hands down), but rather for the kid with the best attitude and work ethic. Gunnar was honored with this award for the Silver Thrashers (3rd/4th grade team), and Ezra Sandmeyer, another Logos kid, got the award for Black Thrashers (5th/6th grade). And Gunnar's coach Andy Kiblen, who really did a terrific job, got the coach's award.
I'm really proud of him.
Now let's hope the Cubs can just hold on to their lead and win the World Series tonight!!
