I can't let the day get away without mentioning the game we went to today. Yes, it was very far- Bellevue Stake Delphie?- and, yes, I had to ditch my prom-decorating-activity but I have to say it was very much worth it. Payton and Riley have been playing basketball with our wards' young women this season. They ranked #1 in the Stake and thus went on to Regionals. Friday night was their first game. Larry took them because the women's team, which I play on, also made it to the tournament as first seed. What's crazy this year is the Men and Young Men's teams both made it as second seed. Anyway, the girls did great and easily won last night. But today's game was equally matched. They had to work really hard to win this one- and they did. They finished with a score of 27 to 23, with 2 free throws made by Alyssa with 4.4 seconds left! I wish I had the camera. Payton and Riley have both been playing so hard, along with all the rest of their team. They play again next Saturday in Auburn and we are excited to see them move on in the tournament. Way to go, girls!
Update: Larry and his team played in North Seattle today and won also! Yeah! They play again Thursday night. The Young Men lost their first game by 2 on Thursday so they're out of the tournament. And the women's team lost our Friday night game (very badly) and decided to forfeit todays so we could watch the girls instead. I believe it was a very smart decision. We love to play together but it's about fun and excercise- definately not the win! So good luck Men, too, I guess. It will be fun to see how far these teams can go!
