CONFIDENCE. POISE. HEART. GRIT. | Our Girls Basketball Story 🏀
A new basketball season is here, but sometimes the best way to look forward is to remember what you’ve already done.
These are a few of our favorite clips of Payton from last season — attacking the basket, playing aggressive, making tough moves look easy, and showing flashes of the player she is becoming.
This video isn’t about points, stats or highlights.
It’s a reminder.
CONFIDENCE. Believe in yourself.
POISE. Stay calm and play your game.
HEART. Love the game and compete.
GRIT. Keep going when it gets hard.
COURAGE. Never be afraid to make a play.
TENACITY. Never stop competing.
TRUST. Trust the work you’ve put in.
JOY. Never forget why you started.
New season. New challenges.
BE YOU. PLAY CAREFREE. 🏀❤️

🏀 Backyard Trick Shots… We REFUSED to Quit! 😂 | RSN

Some of these shots took WAY longer than we’d like to admit… 😂🏀

Payton and Riley took on some backyard basketball trick shots, and the challenge quickly became less about making the shot and more about not giving up until it finally went in!

Payton brought her usual persistence—miss after miss, she just kept going. And Riley may have stolen the show with her hilarious little motivational talks to herself. 😂❤️ Sometimes you just have to be your own hype person!

There were plenty of misses, plenty of laughs, and a few moments where we wondered if the ball was EVER going in… but eventually, we got the shots!

This one turned into a pretty good reminder:

Keep shooting. Keep trying. Eventually, it drops. 🏀

The Reuter Sports Network is officially LIVE! 🎙️🏀

For the first-ever RSN episode, Payton & Riley stepped behind the desk—and brought their usual quirky, spunky chaos with them. 😂 Between the stumbles, laughs, and trying to actually get through the broadcast, this turned into a mini blooper reel pretty quickly.

And the best part? They had NO IDEA there was a huge surprise waiting for them during the actual broadcast… 👀

Sometimes the best videos are the ones that were never supposed to be videos. 😂🔥

The girls and some of the neighborhood crew came over while Dad decided it was time to light a HUGE brush pile. Of course, the girls turned it into entertainment — but Savannah absolutely stole the show with her play-by-play commentary. 😂

Just another completely normal evening with Running With The Reuters.

🔥 Huge brush pile
😂 Goofy kids

🤦‍♂️ And Dad doing Dad things

🎙️😂 Every great sports network has to start somewhere…

Welcome to the VERY early days of the Reuter Sports Network! 🏀📺

Before the big stories, breaking news and professional broadcasts… apparently we need to work on getting through a sentence first. 😂

The girls were supposed to be doing their first official broadcast from our new studio, but this part quickly turned into more of a practice run — goofing off, trying to stay serious, and Riley battling the teleprompter one word at a time. 🤣

Little did they know… Mom had something MUCH bigger waiting for them later in the script. 👀🏀

RSN Broadcast #1 was officially underway!

237 Days in 90 Seconds! 🤯 | Building Our Dream Podcast & Memorabilia Room

🎙️🏀 237 DAYS IN THE MAKING!

On January 4th, 2026, the girls and I walked into this room with an idea.

We wanted to create a space that was part office, part sports memorabilia room, part podcast studio — and most importantly, a place where we could create things together.

So… we got to work!

Over the next 237 days, we assembled furniture, decorated the walls, collected memorabilia, added equipment, changed things around about a hundred times 😂 and slowly watched our little idea turn into something we're incredibly proud of.

For this video, we went all the way back to the beginning and put together the transformation from Day 1 to Day 237 in about 90 seconds — including some actual footage of us building the room together.

And since you can't build a podcast/media room without testing it out… we even threw in our own little fake news broadcast. 🎙️😂

Is the room finished?

Absolutely not.

And honestly, it probably never will be. We'll keep adding memorabilia, changing things and finding new ways to use it.

But that's part of what makes it ours.

This isn't really a video about a room. It's about 237 days of creating something together — and we're VERY proud of how far it's come. ❤️

“Guess What? We Found the FEVER!” 😳🏀 | Caitlin Clark & Sophie Cunningham

So naturally… we went looking for them! 👀

Before the Indiana Fever took on the Atlanta Dream, we decided to do a little searching around Atlanta to see if we could figure out where the Fever were staying.

And somehow… WE FOUND THEM. 😳

First, we ran into Sophie Cunningham INSIDE the hotel! The girls couldn't believe it.

Then we headed outside and got an incredible behind-the-scenes look as Sophie Cunningham, Caitlin Clark and the Fever players made their way out of the hotel and loaded onto the team bus for the game. 🚌🏀

For two girls who LOVE basketball, getting this unexpected little insider look at their favorite players before the game absolutely blew them away.

And the craziest part?

We hadn't even made it to the arena yet… 👀

This Fever game day just kept getting better!

Kelsey Mitchell Got OFF the Team Bus for Riley! 🥹🏀 | Our Indiana Fever Adventure

🏀❤️ THIS is a day Riley will NEVER forget!

The Reuters headed to Atlanta for an incredible day of WNBA basketball as the Indiana Fever took on the Atlanta Dream in a huge matchup with playoff implications.

But of course… we couldn't just go straight to the arena. 😂

Before the game, we made our way around Atlanta searching a few hotels hoping we might catch the Fever players before they headed to the arena.

And then something happened that we NEVER expected.

Riley was wearing her Kelsey Mitchell jersey when Kelsey came out and loaded onto the Fever team bus. We thought that was it…

Until Kelsey apparently noticed Riley.

She GOT BACK OFF THE BUS and came over to sign Riley's jersey! 🥹❤️🏀

What an incredible gesture from Kelsey Mitchell. Riley was absolutely thrilled, and as parents, seeing someone take a few extra seconds to make your child's day is something you don't forget.

Then it was off to the arena for Indiana Fever vs. Atlanta Dream, an awesome atmosphere, great basketball and another unforgettable adventure for our family.

These are exactly the kinds of memories we started Running With The Reuters to capture.

Thank you, Kelsey, for making this one extra special. ❤️

💦🎈 SCHOOL'S OUT… LET THE BATTLE BEGIN! 🔫😂

The last day of school means one thing in our neighborhood…

THE ANNUAL WATER WAR!

Every year when that final school bell rings, the kids know exactly what's waiting for them — an old-fashioned neighborhood battle with water balloons, Super Soakers and absolutely NO MERCY! 😂💦

This isn't just a water balloon fight anymore. It's become a tradition that the kids look forward to every single year.

The balloons are filled.
The Super Soakers are loaded.
Teams are formed.
And nobody is making it home dry. 😂

For the girls and their friends, it's the perfect way to celebrate another school year in the books and officially kick off SUMMER! ☀️

These are the simple traditions we hope they'll remember forever — a bunch of neighborhood kids running around, laughing, getting soaked and just being kids. ❤️

School's out. Summer is here. LET THE WATER WAR BEGIN! 💦🔫🎈

This Is What Basketball Is All About 🏀❤️ | An Unexpected Pickup Game

🏀 Sometimes the best basketball memories are the ones you never plan.

The girls and I were riding around the neighborhood on the golf cart when we noticed a dad and his two boys playing basketball at the park. We didn't know them, and we definitely hadn't planned on playing hoops that night.

But we stopped…and before we knew it, we had a full 3-on-3 pickup game going! 😂🏀

The kids competed, the dads went head-to-head, and everybody laughed and had a great time.

This is what makes basketball so special to us.

It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from, how old you are, or whether you've ever met before. Once you step onto that court, the outside world disappears for a little while.

It's just basketball.

A ball. A hoop. A little competition. And people coming together because they love the game. ❤️

We left home that night with no plans to play basketball and ended up making a memory with people we'd never met.

That's the beauty of the game. Basketball brings people together.
