Well, the girls did it! They played the best game to date. It was a terrific game and very competitive. We jumped out to a pretty big lead 12-4 at the end of the first quarter, but our post player also had 2 quick fouls so we had to sit her down for a while and Harvest Prep made a little run. We came back in the 3rd quarter and built our lead again. We did have some girls in foul trouble but we were able to shut down their point guard who had scored 30 on us the previous time we played them. In the process of playing so aggressively we had 3 of our girls that fouled out in the 4th quarter. The good news was that our bench players stepped in and played great. We slowed the game down, had very few turnovers and hit some key shots and free throws. The final score was 48-37, what a game. Mr. Bichler was completely exhausted following the game. Monday both our 7th and 8th grade teams will be playing in the Championship Finals. The 7th grade will face the winner of the Liberty Union/Grandview game at 5 pm and our 8th grade will face St. Mary's (Fisher Catholic) at 6:30. In the regular season we defeated them early in the season but last week we lost a close game to them 29-30. It will probably be another nail biter. Stay tuned or better yet, come on over and watch the action live, should be a good one!
