Hip, hip, hooray!! Mr. Bichler's 8th grade girls finally brought home a Mid-State League Championship in basketball. The girls were so amped up for the game. We hadn't practiced since last Friday but we fed them pizza after school and had a little walk-thru to review the defense we wanted to play and they just went out and played. We scored the first 8 points and the score at the end of the 1st quarter was 12-4. They kept the pressure on through the entire game and won 40-26. We were so proud of their effort and determination to win. We had 3 girls that scored in double figures and our post players pulled down 10 and 12 rebounds. I am so glad they were able to have this winning experience. I'm even more thrilled that Mr. B was able to come away with a championship in his first season back following the accident. Wow, words just can't describe the relief I'm feeling.
