Emmett can walk away from even a championship loss and be laughing and goofing with his friends minutes later. Not that he's lost a lot of championship games. In fact, I don't know that he's lost in a game for a championship. We've come in third and lower, but never second. Huh.

He's in 8th grade. His last year of middle school. Next year Emmett's going to be in High School! Yikes.
