On to State!

We won in 3! I think the scores were like 25-17, 25-28 and 25-22.
They were a very good defensive team....very scrappy!

Now it's on to State! We play next Thursday at 6:00pm in Cedar Rapids against the number 3 seeded team, IK Manning. We are seeded as 6th. They have one very tall girl. We have played them a lot in AAU tournaments over the years. They are very good. We usually battle close with them and it seems like we win some and they win some.....so we'll see. :) If we win we most likely play Dike New Hartford (seeded 2nd) on Friday night at 6:00pm. Then if we would win that, we'd play Saturday afternoon at 3:00 most likely against Western (seeded 1st). So we have a tough road, having to play the 3rd, 2nd and 1st seeded teams to win it all! :)

We had a nice celebration after the game tonight, so that was a lot of fun.

It will be a busy week trying to plan team meals, making signs to put on the town square and along the roads, decorating lockers, decorating cars, decorating the bus, making the traditional gift bags to put on the bus, etc. Since Jana is the captain, I get the honor of coordinating all of the above activities. I've kept a "to do" list from when Jody and Scott qualified for State over the years, so that helps. Actually it's a lot of fun stuff and I'm glad I get the chance to do it!

Well...it's 1:00am so I think I'll see if I can get to sleep now. :)

Love,
Arla
