Part 3 will be through the eyes 👀 of Dad, followed by Part 4 with twin Brother Brayden and finally Part 5 should be available to every Coach that Bryce played for ➕ Mr Tee Jackson if I can get some help in contacting him.

Part 2 – Q & A with Michelle “Mama ” Smoot…
Q – Let’s start put with an easy enough question, can you touch on the emotions of watching 👀 your Son as he broke the scoring record ?
Mama – This Mommas Heart is so overwhelmed with love, happiness, Tears of joy for my son! I have watched every game since Bryce has played Basketball with the exception of maybe during covid or having to separate because Bryaden has played on another team.
Q – As Bryce now sits alone at the Top of the Scoring list, what if anything do you share with your Son ?
MaMa – I know how hard Bryce has worked for this moment and as a Mom his #1 fan I have and will always tell him… not everyone is going to like you, not everyone is going to like what you do. But that’s OK because you do it the right way and show respect to the game.
Q – Please share any thoughts you may have about the achievement that others might not know ?
MaMa – He has set Goals on this court and he has absolutely crushed his goals! None of those goals have come easy for him and he has his brother Brayden to thank for that, BECAUSE Brayden has made Bryce work for every point that he has earned.
Q – Help us understand the importance of the relationship in regards to your twin Boys…
MaMa – Where you see it the most is all the games they have played against each other in the driveway, wellness center and the high school gym. Brayden isn’t and never has been easy on Bryce when it comes to 1 on 1. Brayden works his butt off to make Bryce beat him and that’s why Brayden is so tough defensively in our Varsity games.
Q – Now that their days as teammates is nearing its end, how far back can you take us in regards to the Boys 👦 playing against each other ?
Mama –
It all started when they where 4 years old in my little kitchen with 4 tennis balls 1 in each hand they learned how to dribble blind folded.
Q – What do you think of when you look into Bryces eyes ?
MaMa : I see joy in Bryces eyes and it just absolutely makes my heart want to explode with happiness for him. I would love to say a huge Thank you to all the people that have supported Bryce over the years and to the ones that traveled 5 hrs or more to come and see him hit the one basket 🧺 that put him over the top on that Saturday.
Q – Let’s wrap things up with a final thought about the achievement…
MaMa – Everyone that came out that day, they have talked to me about how much they have enjoyed watching my boys play ball. Everywhere I go someone has seen this record and tell me to tell Bryce Congratulations. I’m just so proud of my Boys….
A Mother’s Love 💘
