Wow! The Moores had a great day yesterday. First, Kyle's little 7th grade team won their playoff game to get into the finals. So, tomorrow night they play in the championship game against, guess who? the first team they played this season that kicked their trash and made Kyle so worried. Yeah, that's right, the one his mother said might be the hardest team they would face and to give his team another chance and don't give up on them. (remember my feelings on "being right"?) They beat him twice in the regular season but, hey, anything can happen in the playoffs. Which brings me to my next bit of great news. Hunter and the Mission Hills Grizzlies played their arch nemesis San Marcos Knights last night in the first game of the playoffs. We had to play at their tiny, old, dark, ugly little gym because they were a higher seed than us. It was standing room only and I'm sure we broke some fire codes. They beat us in preseason in the last minute of the game. Our two schools have never played each other in a playoff game in the history of the schools. Hunter grew up playing WITH all of the San Marcos players on club teams and now had to play AGAINST them so he knows them all really well. I'm pretty sure I have some temporary hearing loss after that game. Is that enough of a build-up for you? OK... wait for it................
WEEEEEEEEE WONNNNNN!!!!!! It was so great! We were ahead pretty much the whole game, just like last time, but this time Hunter Moore hit some clutch free throws to ice it and our defense was smothering. All San Marcos can shoot are threes and this time we didn't let them. We won 57-50 and that gym exploded. I was so proud of our little team. They played like....Grizzlies! Now it's on to Morse on Friday night. We beat them in preseason but they are still favored to win. Remember, anything can happen:)
