Basketball and More Basketball
This week we have be attending the Cumberland County (CC) basketball
games in the District 4 All 'A' Tourney. Teams from several schools have
all been playing in Burkesville at the high school. We've went Wednesday
and watched the CC Lady Panthers win their semi-final game. Then Stacey
and I went Thursday evening and watched the CC Panthers lose their
semi-final game. Friday night there wasn't an empty seat in the
building, with 4 different schools being involved in the championship
games for both girls and boys. Jason and Stacey sat by each other for
all the games. I made plans with Stacey and Jason for me to pick him up
Saturday at 2 PM and take him to our house to watch a NBA game with
Stacey.The girls' game was first on the schedule. We watched the CC Lady
Panthers win the championship game by nearly 20 points. The home town
crowd was going crazy during the game and immediately after the game the
girls cut down the nets and had their pictures made with the trophy. We
watched the first quarter and half of the second quarter of the boys
game before we left. Russleville was defeated by Metcalf County in the
boys final.
Saturday, Jason's favorite team is the Miami Heat and of
course Stacey's is the Pacers. They played today at 2:30 PM. I picked
Jason up and Stacey was at our house waiting with the TV on and ready to
watch the game. They watched the first half of the game while Linda
fixed a couple home made pizzas. Stacey was having a good time as the
Pacers were beating the Heat. Jason wasn't as happy as Stacey.
We
all ate pizza as the game was going on. After the first half and we were
done eating, we went upstairs and watched the second half on the big
screen TV. Miami started making a comeback and Jason started to show
some excitement as they got closer to the Pacers. Stacey started getting
quiet as the Heat took the lead. And at the end of the 3rd quarter, the
game was tied. Both were pushing and lightly slapping each other on the
arms and shoudlers. The Heat pulled away, but the Pacers caught back up.
It was a close game with Miami winning in the final seconds by 2 points.
Jason didn't rub it in and Stacey took it fairly well. Jason asked if we
could shoot a game of pool after the ball game was over. We did, then it
seemed like he was ready to go home, so Linda and Stacey took him home.
I think they had fun watching their favorite teams play each other.
