Austin had two basketball games this week. His first game was on Monday night--a make-up game from last Friday--against Bloomer. We played at home in Barron. It was a tough game for the BHS JV team; Bloomer gave us some strong competition.

Here is Austin working the ball around on offense.

~~~Bringing the ball up the court...
~~~
The inbound pass-- David "Sparky" Sloan to Austin "Eddie" Klimek.
~~~
Our guys fought to the end, and David almost nailed a three-point shot with one second left to tie the game, but the final score left us with a three-point deficit.
~~~
Last night, Thursday, we made the LONG trek to Northwestern School District. It is between the towns of Poplar and Maple, WI--about a 2 hour drive from here. UGH! Andrew stayed at Neil's house overnight and Abby brought her friend, Brenda, with us to the game.
~~~
Taking a breather...
~~~
Abby and Brenda amused themselves during the two games--it was a good thing Brenda was able to come along and keep Abz company!
~~~
Abby used some of the time to work on perfecting the art of catching a popcorn kernel with her big, huge mouth...
almost...
Got it!!!!
The kids don't have school today. It is the end of the semester, so they have the day off. Tomorrow, Andrew has a tournament in New Richmond. I am happy to say Superior won't be at this tournament! Unfortunately, Isaiah is out for the rest of the season with a stress fracture of his foot, and Neil is having some trouble with his shins and it is questionable as to whether or not he will be playing.

Northwestern has a 9-0 record this season. They have a team of tall, big guys and they are dominating the conference. Last night was no exception!
~~~
Our JV was actually giving Northwestern a run for their money in the first half of the game, but they ended up losing by 20 points.

Here is Austin doing what he does best--bringing the ball up the court past the man-to-man press...

Our boy's Varsity team has a game tomorrow in St. Paul--the "E-Metro Classic". Guess who was asked to suit up for Varsity and be at the game, ready to play?!?!!!!!!

Have a good weekend!
