SPORTS !!!

The basketball girls played in the Borden County Invitational Christmas Tournament last weekend (Thursday and Friday ONLY) it had to be cut down to two days because the boys were playing in the State 6-man Division II State Championship Football game on Saturday. Anyway, they played Southland on Thursday night and won. Friday @ 12:30 they played Colorado City and won. That brought them to the Championship game Friday night against Forsan. We had beat Forsan three days prior to this meeting in a tough fight, so we knew this was NOT going to be an easy task. They would be out for revenge and we better be ready. We started the game REALLY slow and found ourself down in a big hole !! I will give credit the girls did NOT give up and continued to fight. When the final buzzer sounded..our girls were on top !!! First time they have won the tournament since 2003. They fought for it and won. D'Nae had a very good game. She was leading scorer with 15 points. I'm not sure the rest of the stats but she had several steals also. CONGRATULATIONS !!! ***Check back for a pic***

As I stated before the boys played in the State 6-Man Division II Championship game Saturday in Abilene against # 2 ranked Highland. We came in as the defending State Champions and the # 1 ranked team. The pressure was on us. Since the Divison splits 4 years ago, no one had repeated as Champions. The game was close and it was a very hard fought defensive battle. It came down to the 4th quarter. Very nerve racking ball game. But...we won 28-14 !!! Back-to-Back Division II State Champions !!! CONGRATULATIONS !!!

This week D'Nae and Rhaeden have been taking Semester tests. It has not been the most pleasant around the house. Nerves are on end. Everyone needs to do good. Stress has taken over. Poor Maegen...who has been in quite a bit of trouble this week...she has just been playing. NO semester tests for her. So, why can't she tumble ? Why can't she be loud ? Why can't she play video games ? BECAUSE THE OTHER TWO ARE TRYING TO STUDY !!! Now...think about this for a moment...if she was trying to study..would it really matter what the other two were doing ? Would they care if they were doing what she wanted to be doing ? Needless to say...STRESS NEEDS TO LEAVE !!!

Shirley got some different medicine on Monday. Last night, she looked good !! She said she was feeling MUCH better !!!

Tonight we have the Annual Band Concert. Tomorrow basketball game. Saturday, I'm busy. So, my question is: When am I going to go Christmas shopping ? Good Question !!!

If I don't get to update before Christmas...MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !!!
