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!
