Bingham 3 Point Contest

Bingham had their blue and white game on Friday night where the freshman play the sophomores and the JV play the Varsity teams. They also do a few contests throughout the evening including the 3 point contest. They choose one representative from each grade and Brayden was chosen to represent the sophomores (he had to do a shoot out with a few other sophomores that wanted to do it as well and he beat each of them). They first had the sophomore rep go against the Junior rep and Brayden won. Then they had the Varsity rep play against the Freshman rep and the Varsity player one. Then they had the Varsity rep and Brayden go against each other and Brayden won!! 17-15 with the Varsity player barely missing the tying shot at the end. Later in the evening Brayden went up against the winner of the girls contest. Last year the girl winner beat the boy winner...which resulted in the players shaving his head and giving him a hard time all year. So it was a big deal to beat the girl winner this year. And he did! He smoked her and easily beat her 17-12. It was so much fun to watch Brayden do his thing and have the whole basketball team cheering for him. It helped convince me that bringing him to school at 6am every morning to practice shooting with their shooting gun has been worth it!
