Three Minutes and Thirty-Three Seconds

Austin had the opportuntity on Saturday to suit up with the BHS Varsity as they played in the E-Metro Classic in St. Paul. They traveled to Johnson High School in St. Paul, MN on Saturday morning for the game.
~~~
Jamie was able to make the trip to watch the game and cheer on the Bears. He saw some pretty talented players from the St. Paul team--our boys didn't do TOO bad. We ended up losing by 18 points, so we held in there better than expected.
~~~
In the last three minutes and thirty-three seconds, Austin and his buddy, David, checked into the game. This was Austin's first experience on the floor in a Varsity uniform! I won't talk about someone who left the camera at home... But Jamie did attempt to take some pictures with his cell phone to share with me.

Here is Austin checking into the game at the scorer's table...~~~
Out on the court--Austin wore number 40 for the game.

Here is number 40, ready to play some "D"!

Jamie said Austin had a really nice pass as point guard when he got out on the court. Austin told me he may have had a turn-over or two, but his mom won't talk about THAT on her blog! We are proud of the hard work Austin puts in in practice and lifting weights that led to him getting this opportunity--congrats, Austin!

BHS Golden Boys have two games next week--at Hayward on Tuesday night and against Chetek Friday night at home.

Good going Austin! I'm sure that they will have you in the game again a time or two before the season is over!
