CV Basketball

So with some prompting I decided to post this update about b-ball here in the great CV. We finished the regular season by beating Rough Rock 68-64 and red Mesa 63-61 and ended with a 20-6 record. 20 wins is pretty cool. We lost a coin toss and ended up 3rd place even though we were tied in conference record. We had the first game of the regional tournament on Wednesday and we played Valley. We had a horrible first quarter but then woke up and ended up winning 65-48. I scored 17 in my last game at home.

After that we went up to Many Farms on Friday and Saturday for the rest of the regional tournament. Rough Rock upset St. Johns so St. Johns isn’t going to State for the first time in probably twenty years. But that’s not the reason I mentioned Rough Rock. I mention them because we played them first and even though we were coming off of a five hour bus trip and only had twenty minutes to get dressed and warmed-up, we lit them up in the first quarter. They got close a few times but we ended up winning 58-45. The first seed, Williams, lost to Piñon so we played Piñon Saturday. We played after Williams lost again, this time in overtime to Rough Rock, and our girls lost as well. Kind of funny thing is that Willliams went in as the 1 seed and left as the 4 seed. Hoo hah. We played Piñon pretty well even though we were down 25-24 at half. But that was pretty good because Piñon scored 31 against Williams in the first quarter. In the second half we were back and forth and were tied 46-46 at the end of the third quarter. We fouled out their three best players in the fourth and we ended up running away with a 65-51 win. So we won the region tournament and go into State as the #1 seed. Plus we ended up with the best record in the region with only three losses. Hoo hah again.

So after that I shot in the three point contest but I was one behind the leaders. Too bad, I hit 7-15 and they hit 8-15. But they thought the guy said eleven for me so I had to tell them they had it wrong and that I didn’t really win. So brownie points for me. What do I care if I don’t shoot in the State Three-point competition, I’m going to State anyways. For the third time, hoo hah!

More new stuff

Well since Josh alluded to my winning a contest in the 4th comment (?) on my last post, I guess I’ll update once again.  Yes, it’s true, my friend (Mike Bux) and I won a contest for a radio ad.  We were supposed to make an ad for a local car dealership and OnStar so we just recorded a scripted exchange about a few features of OnStar.  We submitted it and what do you know, it won.  So we won $500 and we get to split $300 so I get $150.  And that’s pretty cool.  If you want to know about it, ask Josh.  He found the article on line that talks about it pretty quick so it might still be in his history because right now I can’t find it.  if I do, I’ll post a comment on this post.

Good news and Bad news

Well, some good news and bad news. Bad news first: I still haven’t gotten Steve’s pix up yet but I’m almost ready and e-mailed Jere for some info about that today. So, before you start sending death threats to me, the pix will be up semi-soon. I hope.

On a lighter note, I got my acceptance letter to BYU today. Yep, I’m in for the summer session so that’ll be fun. Anyways that’s all from here.

For now….. *evil laughter fading into silence as a creaky door slams shut*

On a happier note.

On a happier note, this just in from the department of homeland security. Not really though but it’s pretty funny. As you should be able to tell it’s a little old. So sue me, actually don’t.

At Phoenix Sky Harbor airport today, an individual later discovered to
be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while
in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule, and
a calculator. At a morning press conference, Attorney General John
Ashcroft said he believes the man is a member of the notorious
al-gebra movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying
weapons of math instruction.

Al-gebra is a fearsome cult,” Ashcroft said. “They desire average
solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a
search of absolute value They use secret code names like ‘x’ and ‘y’
and refer to themselves as ‘unknowns’, but we have determined they
belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with
coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used
to say, “there are 3 sides to every triangle”.

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, “If God had
wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have
given us more fingers and toes.”

Revenge of the Brick!

You know how sweet Star Wars and LEGOs are so here’s a neat movie that has them both. It’s pretty Sweet! After you watch the actual movie you should watch the clone trooper orchestra one (it’s like the end of the movie but goes through the whole song). Their pretty sweet! (Wait I said that before oh well).
Note: This movie is 12MB so if you don’t want to wait like an hour (what I waited) to watch it, get a computer with a fast internet connection!
