3 or 4 more inches of snow...and more on the way...what the...

Snow fell this weekend and it was a bit of a mess. I don't really feel like talking about the weather right now so I will move on.

The number 1 team in 3A girls basketball fell on Saturday. Too bad we played them on Friday.

It was actually a respectable game. Jess lead the team with 11 points and they lost by 20 something. It was close for awhile. Right before half we were only down by 2. We seemed to run out of steam.

Saturday she had a game at Des Moines Christian. It was a crazy game. Three of our starters fouled out. The refs were calling every little touch foul they could see and a few they couldn't. The game went into overtime, that is when jess fouled out. We ended up winning by one. Jess lead the team with 18 points.

After the game, the other team's coach waited for her as she came out of the locker room. He told her he coaches and high school all-star team and wants her to play on it. He gave her a letter with the details. They play in a tournament in Hawaii. They would go a week in August, after softball is done. I don't think she is going to do it. It is expensive and we have put a lot of money into volleyball this year. It was flattering though.

We headed to Council Bluffs at 4:30 AM yesterday morning. It was a snowy mess. I almost turned around because the conditions were so bad. We ended up making it ok as you can tell because I am writing this today.

The girls played well but lost in the quarter finals to an 18 year old team.

I teach class tonight. Jess has a game at Winterset tomorrow. I teach class Wednesday and I think Thursday is a break.

Ok, off to start.
