VBS finished by Wednesday lunch time. Then it was time for the basketball tournament. Our first game was in Banate, a smaller town than Dumangas, about an hour north. It is near the beach, so for that evening, we were to eat at a small beach resort with food catered from the family of a kid who attended VBS and has since graduated.
The game was set in the afternoon. I think they were younger, but we were taller. The youth had their game and the adults played too. The youth was only two quarters while the adult game was four quarters. At first, we did not have the chemistry as a team, but the longer we played together, the better we got.
During half time, Jon had the free throw contest with prizes and people joined in the fun with enthusiasm.
After half time, many of the wives with younger kids headed out to the beach resort, but my kids and I stayed to cheer our team on. It was just fun to be there. And it was hot. I went outside once and felt that the heat was even more intense than the day before.
The games were all very well attended, having really no publicity. People just sat and watched.
