Chase loves basketball!

Chase loves playing basketball. He has always been so timid while playing that we decided to wait a year before we signed him up again. In fact, last time he played, we told him we would pay him a quarter each time he TOUCHED the basketball. He didn't have to do anything else but touch the ball. He didn't make very much that season. So this season, we went a little further in the bribing and we told him that we would pay him a dollar for each basket he made. Raise the bar....you know? So in the second or third game, he made a basket and we were all thrilled for him, including Chase. It made his week! So he earned a dollar. Well, the last game came and the other team didn't show up. So the coach decided to cut the team in half and have them play each other. One team gray and one team blue. Chase made a basket within minutes of the game starting.... then 5 minutes later, another basket. By half time, he had made 3 baskets! I told my friend, Ann Barrett, who was sitting by me the deal and her and her daughter were having a hayday egging Chase on to make more baskets and thus, make more money. By the end of the game, Chase was the high scorer and had made 5 baskets. It was quite the money making game for Chase. He can't wait to start a new season.
