This is a long way off topic for a car enthusiast web site, but I'm pretty darn excited.
Those of you that know me, know that I'm barely 5'9" on a good day, but I have a background in the game of basketball. As a youngster, I made a couple of state teams (NSW), won a national championship and was lucky enough to play in the USA for a short time. Anyway, enough about me.
We just found out today that my 16 year old son (he's 17 on the 10th of December) just made NSW Under 20's.
Unlike me, he's a tad over 6'6", blonde and runs like a gazelle (I don't mean he runs on all fours, just that he's fast).
This selection puts him into the top 80 ranked players in Australia in his age group and as junior basketball goes up in 2 year increments, he's elegible to play for the same team again next year. He's the youngest player on the team by some months.
His next step is the national U/20's championships in Adelaide next February.
Yes, I'm going to watch and yes, I'm driving the barge, via the Great Ocean Road. I should be nice and sunburnt by the time I get there.
I'll also need to upgrade my video camera as it's an opportunity to get footage of him, as ultimately we're going to try to get him to an American university on an athletic scholarship, but that's in the future, as he's still got year 12 to go next year.
It's a great achievement, and we're all proud.
