Nice start but not so good ending

My nephews played in a basketball tourney yesterday. We got there about 20 minutes before game time. After the teams warmed up, we noticed that Cody was taking off his warm up top and sitting down with the starters. Yes he got to start his first game. We were all so excited - my sister (their mom) was sick at her stomach from nerves. I don't know who was more nervous Cody or my sister. The entire team played a flat and we lost the game, but both of my nephews got to play and one started. So all in all, not a bad game. I won't get to see them play their next two games since they will be played while I am work, but I can guarantee you that I will be checking in on the score.
