BHS Golden Boys 2008-2009 Season Comes to an End...

On Tuesday night, the BHS Golden Boys traveled to Baldwin-Woodville for our first round game in the play-offs. Jamie, Squirrel, and I were fortunate to catch a ride with our friends, the Sloans, along with our good friend, Kelli, so our ride to and from the game was most enjoyable!
~~~
Our last meeting with B-W found us on the losing side of the scoreboard, so, we were hoping that our Varsity boys could pull off a win to keep our team alive in post-season play.
~~~
Here are the coaches, sizing up the competition before the game...
Coach Stellmacher, Coach Baumgard, and Coach Schradle~~~
Some words of encouragement from Coach before our starting line-up was introduced at the start of the game. We had three seniors playing in the game... Ryan Nelson, Brandon Johns, and Trevor Severson.
~~~
Team Huddle after the introductions--take note of Eddie on this side of the group--he's the good-looking one! :-)
~~~
Two of our players were feeling the discouragement of not being able to play in this important game due to injuries...
~~~
Spencer Johnson is almost fully recovered after tearing his ACL in a soccer game...
~~~
Kyle Rose had to sit the remainder of the season on the bench after suffering a Grade III concussion during the Bloomer / Barron game a few weeks ago. The last time we played Baldwin-Woodville, Kyle ended up needing stitches in his chin!!!
~~~
Ryan Nelson "Nelly" on the tip...
~~~
In the huddle working on strategy...
~~~
Eric Holten for two!
~~~
Nelly brings it to the hoop!
~~~
Our boys played hard and stayed with B-W throughout the game, however, we always seemed to be just a few steps behind.
~~~
Another team huddle to regroup. Check out Eddie!
~~~
Our game was close throughout its entirety, and we only went two players deep on our bench. Austin and his friends that suited up for the game didn't get to see court time, but they did get to sit with the team on the bench, cheer them on and encourage their friends, and be a part of the huddle and locker room strategizing with the team!
~~~
Unfortunately, at the end of the game, the BHS Golden Boys fell short of a victory by a score of Barron: 49, B-W: 54. We had a great time watching the guys play this season, and we will sure miss the seniors on the team. Thanks for an Awesome season, Bears!

Nice way to keep up on the family, not as personal as a telephone call but nice anyway :).

Nice season Austin.
