Church Ball!!!

This past week, my Ward Basketball team was able to go play in the region tournament. It is the first time that our ward has been to region in a long long long time! We went undefeated in the season ( but we didn't get to play the only team that could have beat us because the game was cancelled), and took first place in our stake. The other team (10th ward) has taken first place the past couple years and was pretty mad when they found out that we got first. On Thursday we had our first region game at 7:30. We won 58-16!!! We kicked but!!!! Then our second game was that same night at 9:30... so we had an hour break. We lost this next game... it was to 35-42. We should have won, because honestly, they weren't that great of team, but we couldn't work our defense, and they were dominating the rebounds. During the first half we just couldn't get any energy on the floor, and none of our shots were dropping, besides the fact that half of them were stupid shots. We had the game within one point with about 4 min. left to play, but then they took off again. I had 3 fouls in the first half, and in ward ball you only get 5. I wasn't to happy when I fouled out with still 7 1/2 minutes to play. But, over all, it was fun. That is the farthest any team has ever gotten in our stake, all the other teams have lost in the first round, so we are pretty excited about that. I did get one souvenir from the game though. During the first game, the other team brought down a rebound and I jumped in there to guard him, but when he turned around, he elbowed me in the eye. So now I have a black eye! It was pretty funny at school the next day!
