The Barron Golden Bears traveled to Stillwater, MN last Saturday for another seventh grade tournament. It was a nasty cold and windy day with wind chill warnings and travel advisories out. I am so ready for spring!
~~~
The boys played their first game against Cambridge-Isanti, who are notorious for having weak teams. They came through on their reputation, and Barron won quite solidly in the first game of the tournament.
~~~
Our second game found Barron up against Rice Lake once again. Last week, we went into overtime when we played Rice Lake in Superior, and we ended up winning the game. Well, this weekend, Rice Lake trounced us and ended up beating us by 20 points! Our boys just couldn't get it together for this game, and Rice Lake took advantage of that and beat us for the first time ever. The Rice Lake team was pretty happy about that!
~~~
The Golden Bears re-grouped, and went on to win their next two games of the tournament against Stillwater Red and Stillwater White and took home a white third place ribbon for the day.

Poor Andrew was sick with a sore throat and cough for the tournament and was taking Day-Quil throughout the day. Most of the other guys on the team were also coughing and hacking--they have been spending a lot of time outdoors at school lately to prepare for their Winter Survival week this week. On Thursday night (Valentines Night), the entire seventh grade will be sleeping outside in the quinzee's they will construct on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week! Andrew was home sick today with a 101.2 temperature trying to get well for the rest of the week's adventures!

Below are some action shots from the weekend tournament of Andrew and some of his teammates...

We have only one more regular tournament left for the Barron Golden Bears seventh grade boys--next weekend in Rice Lake. Then, they will also play in the State Championships in LaCrosse in March, and their season will be over for another year.
Tomorrow night, Austin will have a game in Durand. He also plays on Thursday night at home against Hayward--it is a rescheduled game and also parent's night. Their last game of the week is on Friday night at home against Cumberland, with the WinterFest Dance to follow. Another busy week!
~~~
Have a good week!
