BHS JV Comes Up Short Against Somerset...

Tonight was a non-conference home game featuring the Golden Boys against Somerset. Our JV was once again short on the bench--only one sub for the boys to take turns sitting out and take a quick break from the action.

Our boys trailed most of the game by 3 to 5 points on average. Austin played really well tonight.He played great defense with some stellar steals, scored a few points off of fast breaks from those steals, and he had some really awesome passes underneath for some assists--well, they would have been assists if the ball would have went through the hoop! Our boys had trouble making their shots tonight--many missed "bunnies" under the basket, and our free-throw percentage was not very good, either.

What does Abby do during the games she is subjected to go to several times a week, you ask? Well, tonight's entertainment consisted of crawling around under the filthy wrestling mats on the stage and making a "fort" under one of the mats.

Here are Abby and Bailey (Abz is the one lying on the mat, soaking up the germs).

Our boys rallied for a comeback at the end of the game, but we didn't quite get the score to where we needed it to get a "W".
Final score, Barron JV: 31, Somerset: 33

Our Varsity boys had a much more positive outcome to their game tonight. I wish I could tell you what the final score was (I know we won by 20+ points), but I was distracted again in the second half of the game by little Brennan! Yep, I was accused again tonight of being a "baby hog"! I half-heartedly offered Brennan to my friend, Diane, but when she declined, I said, "Good, I didn't really want to give him to you anyway!"

Here is little Brennan (he is five months old) watching the action on the court.

Brennan's mom plays for the BHS Golden Girls, so he has seen quite a few basketball games in his five short months. He seems to be getting a bit bored with them!

Austin's next game is Thursday night at Cumberland.
Hope everyone is having a good week!

Austin - you look tired. I am sure you were all tired with only 1 sub.
