This was emailed by my dad to some friends and family regarding my brother, Cory.
"For those of you who don't know, Cory tried out for one of three walk-on spots on BYU's basketball team. It started off with about 60 hopefuls. After 2 days of tryouts, they cut it to 12. He made the top 12 and got to scrimmage with the other 11 in the Marriott Center. Most were former Junior College players and some D-!, D-II players. Well...he made it! He now has a locker in the Marriott Center, new Cougar shoes and playing with the fellas. They also gave him two ankle braces. He thought that was the coolest part. Didn't even have to go buy them. It is a red-shirt type position, so don't look for him on ESPN, yet. Playing time will probably come next year. Unless, some of the players get hurt...but we wouldn't want that to happen (wink-wink)!"
Congratulations, Uncle Cory, there was never any doubt. You never cease to amaze me, you are (now more than ever) my sons' hero!

That is so awesome, my brother Erik is going to freak when I tell him!
Wow! I still can remember seeing Cory outside for hours shooting hoops as a little boy. He had such determination for his age. That is neat to see that it paid off. Give him props for me will ya!
Wow! Congratulations to Cory. 3 out of 60! Can't wait to see him play. That's great.
That's great! My older brother was a walk on the b-ball team at BYU (long time ago with Andy Toolson and Marty Haws)...and ended up a starter. So go, Cory, go! Dreams do come true.
That is SO COOL!! FIrst a great mission he served and now he gets to play ball with the best of them!! Congrats!!
That is so exciting. My husband played for BYU (when we met), and those games are so exciting to be at and watch. What great fun for him and your family!
Tyler is SO CUTE!!!
