Blake and the Upward Hawks finished the 2009/2010 basketball season without a loss! It truly was a special season for a special group of boys, each with talents and strengths that complemented the other. And most importantly, the team DID NOT have a showboat or ball hog. EVERY boy on the team moved the ball unselfishly and the undefeated season can easily be attributed to that fact.
The Pacers were short a few players and only had five players show, so each of their players played the entire game.

The Hawks played strong however. (more…)

Blake enjoyed a fun week of Vacation Bible School and Music Camp at
Calvary Baptist Church. The theme was The Boomerang Express: It All Comes Back to Jesus. Blake joined a bunch of friends everyday for VBS and then after lunch practiced songs and dance moves at Music Camp. On June 20th the kids presented a musical and dramatic performance that turned out great. Blake sang, danced, and even performed a solo during the event. He did a great job and had lots of fun. Nikki Ray, Kristy Motley, Jon Hathcock and all the other awesome workers did a great job.
Blake was joined by some friends from school and friends from church. The kids learned a lot in a short week and really impressed everyone in attendance. Keep an eye out for a video of the performance coming real soon.
