November 17, 2012

Outside Temp: 50 F (It was almost 60 today!  I guess last week's storm was just teasing us!)

What I cooked today:
Nothing: Busy day today, so I didn't cook. 

Update:
Congratulations to our District 7C Junior High Boys Basketball Champions!!

So proud of our boys today!  They played at 2:30, and then again at 7:30, against the same team!  It's amazing how the tournament bracket ends up working, but they did great.  The team they were playing is the only team they lost to during the regular season. 

For the final game, they were neck in neck for the entire first half, never more than 2 points difference between the teams.  We were evenly matched, with us (in the stands) on the edge of our seat as we would pull ahead, then they would tie it up.  Back and forth, for most of the first half.  Then (I don't know what the coach told them during halftime), by the second half, they pulled ahead and ended up with a 44-28 win! 

By the time we were about 10 points ahead, the other team seemed to be psyched out enough that they were making desperate moves.  The last 1:30 of the game, both teams put in their second string players to finish out the game.  I think that was the most fun, as the stress was (mostly) removed, and the players were less experienced, so they made some unexpected moves.  Allen got a foul for being too aggressive, which was fun to watch.

Allen had such a great time on the team this season.  Although he is not a starter, with 10 kids on the team, everyone ends up playing at some point.  He has learned so much and has really improved!  His coach is amazing and so supportive of him. 

And I have to admit, I'm kind of glad the season is over... no more picking him up at 6pm every stinking night!  Woo hoo!
