John and I were up early so we could take a walk before the bad weather arrived. Today was Sam's basketball tournament in Crookston, so Sara, Hanna, and Rachel arrived at our house by nine so we could all drive together in our car. The first game was at the college and started at 10:45 a.m. The boys played well and won that game. There was about a two hour wait until their second game which would be played at the local high school. It was decided to head to Subway for lunch and then go to the school and watch some of the games being played. I'm sorry to say that the boys lost their next two games and were eliminated from the tournament. I'm not sure what happened with the team, they just seemed sluggish and could not make a basket for anything--balls just kept going around the rim or bouncing in and out. It was a rough way to end 8th grade basketball, but in spite of their final games, they had a fun season.

On the way home we all stopped at A & W for some supper before gong our separate ways. We enjoyed spending the weekend with family, but are glad the tournament is over. John and I are all basketballed out.
