We had a 16 Point Lead But............

RJ won the game with a free throw! Yikes, these boys like stressing me out! We had a huge lead against Eureka-Bowdle, but became rather complacent and blew it! We kind of fell asleep at the wheel. The game was tied 42-42 with about 30 seconds left. RJ drove to the basket and made it, but at the exact same time, our coach called a time out so the bucket didn't count! So, with about 12 seconds left, RJ drove again and was fouled. He made a free throw and missed one, but it was enough for the 43-42 victory.

We are 4-0, which is wonderful, but maybe this game was a wake-up call. We play Mobridge-Pollock on Friday, Sisseton on Monday, Langford on Tuesday and Leola-Frederick on Thursday--talk about a busy schedule! Sisseton and Langford will be TOUGH opponents for sure!! Enjoy the rest of 08 and look forward to 09!

Here is a pic from a tourney in Webster a few years ago. The Webster gym is notorious for bad lighting.....maybe that's why RJ missed some free throws!!
