Our basketball season came to an end Friday night. We lost to the number two team in the district. We lost by 2 points, and we remain the number 4 team for the second year in a row. It was a single elimination so we didn't get the chance to play for third place, but I think we would have beat the snot out of Otis. Hi-plains got lucky, and I think we were the better team, they just had that one kid. It's too bad. It's amazing that just three years ago this team was a laughing stock of the district. Our coach has completely turned around this program and made them something to be feared and respected. I've been in a funk all weekend because of our loss. The biggest surprise however, came on the bus ride home. Not only did coach tell me she had seen me grow a lot this year and that I had done a better job than last year. But, the big thing was when she told me she may not return next year. That would be a huge loss for our program, and the kids would be devastated but I would love the opportunity to take over. It's a mixed blessing for me. I wanted to take over the girls with the assumption that she would stil be with the boys, but I would love to have the boys and to really give everything I could. Next year could be interesting on the court and in the classroom. With one of my toughest classes moving to one of my toughtest time periods, with my toughest class moving to the morning, and with one of my favorite classes leaving, next year could be interesting, and I'm just hoping to survive this year. I still have the play and CSAP is just around the corner. Great being give me strength and guidance to do what I need to do.

Later.
