Bears at New Richmond

Andrew and his team traveled to New Richmond on Saturday for another tournament. Once again, our boys had their usual sleepy performance in their first game of the day against Hudson, and we ended up losing. I don't know what it is about those first games, but our boys always struggle to get going on tournament days!

The next three games of the day against Stillwater Red, White Bear Lake, and Cambridge-Isanti went much better. The boys won the remainder of their games to take home a third place white ribbon for the day.

Here is Andrew driving the lane against White Bear Lake for two points... ~~~

Our final game of the day was against Cambridge-Isanti. Andrew had a GREAT game! His defense was really good, and he nailed three three-pointers!!! I know he also drove in for a two-pointer, so he had at least 11 points that game!

Here is Andrew stroking up one of his "money" three-pointers!

My friend, Kelly, and I, got quite a bit of entertainment watching this young man play for Cambridge-Isanti. He seemed to have some anger-management issues, and it was kind of fun to see what he would do next! We were disappointed when he fouled out! I don't know his name or anything, I just thought I should take his picture so I could blog about him!

Thanks to Grandma Deb and Grandpa Ken for making the trip to New Richmond to watch the boys play! Next weekend, we will be in Superior...
