Barron Golden Bears Regional Champs
2007-2008
Wow!!! We had an exciting night of basketball tonight as the Barron Golden Bear Boys traveled to River Falls to play the Spooner Rails. Spooner has beaten us twice in our regular conference play this year, so we knew we had a tough contest ahead of us tonight.
~~~
The Barron Boys played AWESOME, and held the lead much of the game! At the end of regular play, we ended up tied at 31 each--on to overtime! We went into our overtime play with 3 of our starters having 4 fouls each, and, two of them fouled out during the last minute and a half of the overtime. We were up by three points with only 10 seconds to go, and Spooner went down for a 3-pointer and missed! They got their own rebound, and took a 2-point shot. Unfortunately, our player, the third starter with 4 fouls, fouled the shooter! So, we lost our player to fouls, and Spooner nailed the free throw with only about 1 second to go to put us into DOUBLE OVERTIME!
~~~
Our team did well in the double overtime, but we were really missing our three starters that had fouled out. We were only down by 2, but ended up losing 51 to 47 after some last second fouls on our part and some made free throws by Spooner.

Our Varsity finished really well this year, and we will sure miss the watching the seniors next year. Our friends, Andrew Sloan, Shay Herrman, Justin Balts, and Brad Halberg are a few of the graduating boys that will be missed on the team.

So, our bleacher time for basketball is coming to an end. Andrew has his State Tournaments in LaCrosse on March 29th and 30th, and then basketball season will be officially over for the Klimek Family for this year.

P.S. to the blog post::: I added a news clip to the blog posting from Thursday, February 14 entitled "Winter Survival Camp". You can scroll down to see it, or click on:

I don't think Andrew is actually on the video, but it is his class up at Camp Phillips--it may have been the day he had to stay home sick...

Way to go Barron!
The video clip of the 7th grade winter survival event was neat. What a great teacher to do that with the kids. A good lesson and fun memories.
