Today was the first of two days of the 7th Grade Great Northwest Baskeball League Championship Tournament. The top 32 teams in the league are invited to play in this tournament every year. Andrew's team, the Barron Golden Bears, are ranked 7th in the League (they fell from 3rd rank last year). Barron is one of the host teams this year, so we were fortunate to play all four of our games today here in Barron. The Golden Bears had a GREAT day of basketball, and so far, remain undefeated in this tournament! Their record so far is as follows:
Barron 35, Eau Claire Rebels 33
Barron 37, Grantsburg 19
Barron 36, Arcadia 15
Barron 50, Duluth 34
Andrew was lucky to have a HUGE cheering section all to himself today, as Grandma Pat and Grandpa Denny have been here for a few days; Chad, Nicole, Carter, and Bradley spent the night Friday night and watched games today, and Grandpa Ken and Grandma Deb drove up for the day after Grandpa got the day off work so they could watch the games! Jamie also had the day off, and two of his friends from high school, Adam Highman and Brad Carlsile, came to watch some of the action, too! Thanks, everyone, for coming to cheer on the Golden Bears!
Tomorrow, the Barron Golden Bears will head to Altoona to finish the tournament with three final games. Our first game is against Superior at 9:15--it will be a tougher bracket of teams tomorrow, as we will be playing for 1st thru 8th place in our bracket. I hope to remember my camera tomorrow so I can post some pics...
GO BEARS!!!
