I had planned to get to the lake today BUT my son's high school, Edmond Santa Fe, has advanced to the state 6A basketball championship which is being played at 3:15 today up in Tulsa so my son and his friends and I are heading to Tulsa.



We beat the favorite, Putnam City HS, yesterday in the semi-final. I watched it on TV and it was without a doubt the most exciting game I have ever seen. The lead changed back and forth throughout the entire game then in the forth quarter we pulled up to a 6 point lead. With less than a minute Putnam City nailed two 3 pointers in a row to tie it up. After that both teams took their turns at the freethrow line. Finally with about 6 seconds on the clock and the game tied we inbound, take the ball through heavy pressure and from just inside the key he throws up almost in desperation and drains it just as the buzzer goes off. I was yelling so loud that neighbors 6 doors down must have thought I was getting a beating from my wife.



Today we will play Bartlesville, a small town north of Tulsa. It's our first trip to the championship and HOPEFULLY our first championship trophy.



Wish us luck!!

WE WON!! WE WON!!!



40 to 37



Very low scoring game, tough defense on both sides and the rim seemed about 2 inches too small but we led through most of the game and hung on for the victory. Yes I'm hoarse and yes I'm proud. Our football team has been defeated in the final game for the last two years so it's extreamly nice to finish one. The best thing is, every starter on the team is a Junior so they'll all be back next year.



Thanks for all the well wishes.
