Tuesday night, we traveled to Durand to watch the BHS Golden Bears take on the Panthers on the Panther's home court. Driving over on Highway 25, we couldn't help but think of our favorite little Dorwin cousins that couldn't be there to cheer on the Klimies--Lake Geneva is a little bit further away from the DHS gym than HWY B!! (Miss you, Carter and Bradley!)
~~~
But, imagine our surprise to find some other special fans in the stands cheering on the Klimek Ballers....
Aunt Con and Uncle Al came to watch the action, and Brett sat with us during the C-Team game, although we lost him to the Durand fans during the Varsity game... :-)~~~
Aunt Bev traveled along with Grandma Deb and Grandpa Ken to watch the boys play basketball, too!~~~
Don appeared at the Varsity game--he, Jamie, and Al discussed the finer points of sports during the game from the bleachers.

Both teams, the C-Team and the Varsity, did well for the evening. The C-Team had a hard time getting started--I think it took them four minutes into the game before they even scored! At half time, we took the lead by two points, and that was the first time we had the lead all game. We ended up winning the game, however, by over 20 points in the end, so the boys figured it all out by the time we were done.

Here is Andrew, number 10, at the point position...
~~~Our Varsity team also played well. Austin was once again able to start the game, and his defense was great throughout the game--he ended the game with 4 fouls! I was so proud! The Varsity also won by over 2o points!

Here is Austin, also number 10, on the free throw line sinking one of his points for the evening...
~~~As we were out in the DHS hallways, a certain trophy was brought to my attention out of the many in the brightly-lit trophy case...
~~~I zoomed in on the plaque on the front so everyone could read it...
~~~Take one more look at the picture in the trophy. Before Michael Jordan, there was another number 23...
~~~Yep, recognize this baller? Skinny legs, and all?
Congratulations, Uncle Al, on your Mississippi Valley Conference Co-Championship!(Well, a belated 50+ year late congratulations!)
You looked pretty handsome in your uniform--skinny legs, and all!
:-)

Thanks to everyone who came to the game to watch the boys play--they appreciated the extra "fans" they had for the night!
