Basketball, basketball!

1-10-11 - We have been in basketball mode ever since we had our last Christmas get together. We have watched two of Evan's games. One game was played at Granite Falls and we won the game, like 63 - 40. Evan had a good game and scored about 9 points. They started a little slow but came on and had a good game.

Then Evan's next game was with Bellevue Christian and it was played at Cedar Park. The gym was full and our team again started slow and at halve time were down by about 15 points. So there was work to do and we came out in the second halve, did a much better job with the basketball, with fewer turnovers & started scoring more points. Evan hit three (3') in the 4th quarter and closed the gap to about a 4 point game. In the end we did lose 50-44 but the guys played a great second halve and Evan ended up with 12 points. So they could hang their heads high and will be ready for their next game.

Have also watched Jessie's team play a game against Meridian High school. The girls won the game by about 30 points and Jessie could about 5 points. The team is so well balance with a really good bench. So the coach can bring in fresh girls and keep the other teams on the run.

We are now counting down for our trip south again. Will be going south with Sherry & Doug Smith in their motor home. Will be leaving on the 12th of January. Then when we get to Williams, CA will pick up our car and will be on our way to Surprise, AZ

Snow is being forecast before we hit the road so not sure how our schedule will work out but will be watching the weatherman & see if the road will be clear. That's it for now.
