Congratulations to my mother
I am writing this letter to congratulate my mother and her teammates on their recent victory in the Tennessee Senior Olympic basketball competition.
My mom, Isobel Smith, walked away with a silver medal in the free throw competition, while she and her teammates, the Bulldogs, took a silver medal in the team playoffs.
Mom, ladies, you have done us proud. Thank you for showing us individually and collectively how to attain a goal. With the support of family, a good coach, (and the fellas who showed up to help with each scrimmage), you all have worked very hard these past several months. We salute you and root for victory while you prepare for the national team playoffs in Virginia next year.
You have proven what Southern sons have always known of their mothers. You are competitive, yet fair-minded, poised, yet agile, genteel yet feisty. These are but a few of the reasons we love you. Congratulations!
William L. Smith
