Hi Mark,
Just want to send a message and make sure I chat with you this week. This weekend we have our conference tournament where we come in seeded number 2. Actually, the tournament started this evening with the number 7, 8, 9 and 10 teams competing in “play-in” games – the two teams who loose tonight go home and the two who win get to play tomorrow. Our conference has 10 teams and to cut the number of teams to 8, the four lowest seeded teams play an extra game just to see who gets to play in the main tournament.
The tourney will be held in the town we played in last Friday night, it is in the same metro area where Brady goes to school. Home is about an hour away, so mom, dad and Brooks are coming to the game. Brady, Amber and Cassidy are planning on attending too. Kala has a light class load on Friday and is planning on taking the day off, so she will attend also. This year, I missed playing with my family watching, so I am glad they can attend the game. Thursday night is the quarter final, games, Friday the semis and Saturday is the championship game. Trophies will be awarded for all eight places. The tourney site is about a 3.5 hour drive from our campus, so we are departing school about 11:00 AM, it should give us time to drive there, check into our hotel, get dressed, warn-up and play some ball.
Last weekend we racked two more wins this year. Friday night we won 67-53. I scored 19 points, 4 blocked shots and pulled in 8 rebounds. Saturday night we played the school friend and former team mate Justin plays at, we won easily 74-28. I had a good night with 26 points, 12 rebounds and 8 blocked shots. We ended the regular season with a record of 20-3.
It is hard to believe my first year of playing college ball is about over, it has been fun. I think I had a good freshman year, varsity coach has noticed my play, hope it leads to something next year. Our varsity team lost last Friday, but won on Saturday night, they finish win a record of 16-6.
Sounds like you experienced some global warming for your birthday, hope you recovered. I hope the birthday spanking “I gave you” wasn’t too severe. LOL.
Yes, on my birthday, Kala and I had a quiet evening together. We were this nice upscale restaurant for dinner, followed by some private time together with lots of hugs and kisses. At the restaurant there a guy playing background music on the piano as we ate – it was fun night. For presents Kala gave me a new pair of shorts (summer is coming) and picture of my old truck. Remember me telling you about my grandpa’s old truck dad and I hot rodded, which later became mine? She gave this art student she knows picture of the truck, and he drew a nice colored picture of my truck. It really looks great and I had it framed. It looks great hanging on my wall. I know my dad will be jealous when he sees it. LOL.
Speaking of my dad, his birthday is tomorrow, February 28th. Zack/Jenny, Cassie and Ben each sent me money for my birthday and mom sent me cookies. When I am home for spring break, she planning on a dinner and presents for me. I love getting cookies from mom. LOL.
I have been talking too much about me. Congrats to you and your team on your wins, keep it up. Break that three way tie for first and show them who is the boss. Best of luck this week and the rest of you your season.
