The latest news is that Gavin's High School basketball team won District Champions! They all got to cut a piece of the net, and received a neat key chain that says District Champs.
Since they were District Champs, that meant they also went to State. It was so fun to send them off. First, all of the parents put together baskets for each boy. We had snacks, drinks, a T-shirt, a pillowcase with their name, number, and district picture on the front. Each parent presented it to their son at an assembly put on by the school to send them off. After that the parents all got in their cars and with a police escort at the front of the bus, and one at the end of the parents cars, we followed the bus out of town with sirens going, and horns honking. Sometimes it is really fun to live in a smaller community. They ended up losing their first game, (which they should have won). State jitters I guess. Their second game they won by 20. That let them go on to compete for the consolation prize. They ended up loosing that game by 7. It was still fun for the boys, and exciting to be able to go to State. The pictures of us following the bus out of town are not so great due to cloudy skies, and taking them through my windshield.
