Tuesday night, Austin and the BHS boys played in Bloomer against the Blackhawks. Bloomer always provides tough competition, and Tuesday night was no exception!

Austin, although his offensive points were not as high as they have been in the past, had a great defensive game, and he, once again, did an awesome job working the ball up the court. Here he is taking the ball to the hoop...

Putting it up from inside the paint...

Inspite of our BHS JV efforts, we ended up on the losing end of the scoreboard at the end of the game...

In Barron, our administration has been experimenting with a few different seating arrangements for our fans. Typically, every gym that we visit in the Heart 'O North Conference has bleachers on both sides of the gym, with the exception of Barron's home gymnasium. Due to this limited seating, our BHS students were often sitting side-by-side with the visiting students. As you can imagine, this could erupt into a wild situation at times, with verbal "insults" flying between the two student sections during tight games. Thus, the seating experimentation we are now experiencing. Our beloved high school principal, Mr. Haugestuen, has received much ribbing about the seating changes--most of it from me! He, in turn, is always kind enough to point out when I am sitting in the wrong fan section--which, as a stubborn creature of habit, I frequently do. Imagine my surprise, when we were at Bloomer, to catch Mr. Haugestuen sitting in the VISITING STUDENT SECTION of the stands!!! Of course, I had to take a picture as evidence, and just so you know, Jamie and I were in the Visiting Adult section--right where we belonged!
Gotcha, Kirk!!!

those are some huge suckers!

Our Varsity game was a very intense game. The game was very physical and the refs did not do a good job of keeping control of the game. I don't believe either team got in the bonus in the first half. One of our Barron Boys, Kyle, was injured quite badly when he went up to block a shot and landed on his head when he came down. He lost consciousness and had a seizure. The ambulance had to come to take him to the hospital where he spent the night. Kyle is now out for the rest of the season, but he is doing well, aside from a bit of memory loss and some headaches. It was a very scary moment (actually 20 minutes) for our team and our fans--we are thankful that Kyle will be fine, but we will sure miss him on the court for the rest of the season!

Abby and Bailey had a good time at the game tasting all of the snacks the Bloomer concession stand had to offer. Here was their prize find...

I bet it was a scary experience for Kyle, his teammates, his family and fans. Glad to hear he is doing okay.
