Last week Friday was the kick off to the St. Kilian basketball tournament which runs from Tuesday, February 15th to Sunday, February 27th.
Besides the many games the kids play, there are many hours spent volunteering either in the kitchen, keeping the books, or collecting admissions at the front door. Seems as though most of these 12 days are spent in the St. Kilian School gym. But I won't complain. it is a fun way to wrap up the kids' basketball season.
Despite their efforts, the 6th grade girls basketball team walks into this tournament with 2 wins for their whole season (not very good). Last week we played three games in the Richfield tournament and took 5th place (out of six teams). The team we beat out for 5th place was Richfield's 5th grade team (which also consisted of some 4th graders).
Tonight was our first game in the SKS tournament. We played Central Middle School (where Hannah goes to school). Hannah was super excited for this game, because she played against her friends and fellow classmates. Her friends also were looking forward to tonight's big game, but not with out taunting and teasing--calling Hannah a "trader". Don't worry! Hannah gives it back just as they dish it out. Today she even wanted to wear her Jersey to school and deck out completely in blue and gold (St. Kilian School colors), but I was the "party pooper" and told her to be a good sport (although, I do agree, it was a very fun idea!!!).
As for the game.......
The final score......
This game we walked away winners. Maybe we're on a streak!?! (probably not!)
It was one of those games where I think the spectators had just as much fun as the girls playing.
Cheap entertainment!
Very fun!
After the game, homework awaits. Definitely not as much fun!
There's math.....
reading, English, and social studies.....
and studying for spelling tests.
After homework, everyone's nice cozy bed calls their name.
Tomorrow, a new day.
