so close
our tema was in the finals of the JV district tournament against Mcminn Central.... a team which goes to state every single stinking year. early in the season, they beat us by 4. a little background... we were missing one of our 4 sophmores. it was 9 in the morning and we had no idea we had a game until the night before at our game. because our coach ahd been in and out of the hospital. but we played.
then, the ref is terrible. whit and caylee foul out. everyone is in pain from cheap shots. and in a huddle, whit decides to inform us why the ref hates our guts. she and her boyfriend just had a rough break up. she did it. and the ref.... was his dad. ouch. but, as farragut, i dont think we have ever played in a game with fair refs. ever. ever. so, we lost. but we should have won.
we were pretty confident going in. were good and we know it. more trashy refs, but not bad enough to blame the loss by any stretch of the imagination like last time. but we started off shaky and were down most of the game. last quarter we had the lead, lost it, got it back, ect. beginning of 4th, whit fouls out on another cheap foul. it just seems like refs hate her, and she happens to be our best player. 30 seconds left, our ball, down 1. BIG PLAY!!! we pass it down low to a post because she had a weak side defender who was no match for her. strong side helped over, our girl got fouled, and missed a short corner shot. not at all a gimme, it was difficult. and of course a ref cant call that kind of foul with so little time left. so it goes uncalled. we naturally fould them asap. 12 ticks left, a post is shooting 2. makes first. oh great. there up 2. AIRBALLS the second. we have ball under there goal, 10.7 seconds left. the whole play is go down, have a specific wing who i will not mention, just as i did not mention the post, shoot a 3, hopefully with enough time for our posts to rebound a miss. she decides she doesnt want to shoot and passes it. our girl isnt ready because that wasnt the play. pass is over her head. she jumps, gets in a scramble for the ball, and time.... runs.... out.
hard loss for a championship game, and we had more than one girl really upset in the locker room. but, i feel strongly that it is no ones fault. yea, some people may have messed up at the end, but everyone messed up at some point. any missed layup could have given us the 2 points to win. any bad pass could have never happened saving us a possession. but, thats the way it turned out. oh well.

nathaniel...
id like to take a moment to brag on my crazy good cousin. he happens to be 11 years old, and i believe he started playing at the middle school before he was in middleschool. this is becasue he plays for homestead, and did last year. and last year he was in 4th grade.
anyway, there was a free throw shooting contest with a few area schools, i assume middle school aged. he won. then, he went to regionals. he won, making 23 of 25 free throws. now, hes going to state. guess whos gonna win? nathaniel. cause thats how he rolls.
also as i recall hearing from cam (his dad and coach) in a recent game he scored 22 of his teams 27 points. the kid can shoot the three ball better than me. and i play high school. hes going places. and now i can prove i knew him.... JK!!!! me and him are tight, he'll give me courtside seats to all his pro games, and have me on the bench at college ones :)

the dance
so we had a church dance on wednesday night. it was bi stake, with ours and the cumberland in attendance. once there, we had boring mixers ect in between the fun real dances, whether they were fast or slow.
i had a little wager going with savannah..... 2 points for every guy you ask to dance, 1 for every one that asks you. i danced every single dance, asking a guy to dance everytime it looked like no one was coming my way. since i danced over twice as much as sav, i obviously won the 5 dollar bet. fun fun fun! who new how enjoyable it would be if i asked guys and got more involved?
best dance of the night....someone made the mistake of asking hannah for the last dance. so i ended up with ty. a little bit into it, i noticed a girl who was a little different who i wasnt sure had danced at all that night hanging out alone in the corner. so, naturally i had ty go ask her. then, i found a similar guy and danced with him. PRICELESS!!!!
anyway, afterwards we went to menchies and ate and hung out, then got back around 11:30.

ugh...
so instead of going to a mountain cabin with my family, i decided to go to the UT bowl game against Virginia Tech. i went with my grandparents, uncle cam, and cousins nathaniel and olivia. we had tons of fun, eating linner at hardrock and hanging out in our 61st floor room of the Weston, our fancy hotel. ask me for details, we discovered some funny stuff. so we went to the game and we lost and everyone around us was drunk, but it was fun anyway. we hung around after and nathaniel and i scaverenged for souveniers. we got some eric berry posters, pom poms, and other little nick nacks as well as between 25-30 chickfila cows. not only did they parachute down during the game, there was one in each cupholder. then, back at out hotel, i got sick around 1 and spent the night barfing up hot fries. fun. we think it was the mini pizza i had at the game.
about the hotel....... at the cafe, the continental breakfast was 21 bucks! geez! it had 78 stories! they had mini individually wrapped mints everywhere. and, these are like bead sized mints. it had terraces. that you could go in. instead of plastic thingies of jelly jam and honey, they had little glass bottles all sealed up, one use sized. i brought a bunch home :)
