Senior Night

Senior night, it's always emotional. You've played on a team for all those years, working hard, having the fans come out to watch, and just like that..those four years are up, and its your last chance to make a stand.

Coming off a loss, but my best performance of the year-7 points, includes hitting a 3 at the buzzer to make the score a bit more respectable. GMG played AGWSR in the final home game. We started with a ceremony to honor the five seniors on the team, also the seniors for other sports. Then it was the ball game. I got the start, it was the only start on varsity for my career. For my starting line-up I tried something funny, and did the Tim Tebow pose as I was introduced on the court.  We fell behind 3-17 in the first quarter, as I missed my first two shots. We trailed 33-16 at halftime. I started the second half, just like the first, and this time I finally scored on a fast break lay-up. GMG fans were very happy to see me score, always were chanting my names whenever  I got the ball. I'm gonna miss that. I was pulled out to receive a standing ovation with 40 seconds left, along with the 4 other seniors, but lost 37-62.

I didn't look forward to playing basketball this year, primarily cause I just wanted to fish, but basketball has always kept me busy. We still have 3 games left, starting today at Gladbrook-Rienbeck. After the season is over, I have about a month to get all my fishing plans up, then around March 15th or so, it's FISHING season!
