Basketball has come to an end (finally!) Our boys have played so well this season. At district play-offs, we won the first game (against Sho-Ban on Tues. Feb. 18th), & went on to play North Gem on Thursday, Feb. 20th (who we lost by only 3 the week before at their gym--and only had 8 players for varsity!). But needless to say, we lost that game. So then we were on the "loser" side of the bracket--which just makes it harder to get to the state play-offs in Boise.
We played & won against Calvary Chapel on Saturday (the 22nd) followed by a game on Tuesday, Feb. 25th against Mackay (our rivals). And we won! Which meant one more game at districts! Against North Gem (again since they lost to Rockland the same night we beat Mackay).
The girls at the last district game on Thursday, Feb. 27th against North Gem. It was an exciting game--and they WON!!
I had to put this in because the cheerleaders have been working hard & were able to lift Kami above their head! awesome job (Linsday, Mariah, Selina & Kami)
So proud of these boys! 2nd at districts! They have worked hard all season & it was fun to watch everyone of them play! The boys then had to play a team from the western side of the state (same division as us) but that game was in Burley & Rusty & I had an overnight date already planned so we missed it. It sounds like they were really tall & big kids & even though our boys played hard, we lost 35-73. (it sounds like the first quarter just killed us--we had the ball stolen about a dozen times & were behind 2-22 at the end of the 1st quarter).
But the team decided to go to Boise anyways & watch the state tournament. They went in 3 cars & went to 12 or 13 games. Zane had a lot of fun & saw some great basketball. I have to say, though--as much as I have enjoyed watching these boys all season, I am glad it is over for now. (Districts just about wore me out--almost every other day to town!).
