Coach Dad finishes 4-4
We won our last game 33-25 to finish the year 4-4. We had two big surprises. One of our girls who has typically gotten about a basket a game got 10 points. Another girl got her first basket of the year. I think it was the first time in years that I jumped and got more than 6 inches off the ground. This same girl later got a free throw. The good news is we won to finish at 4-4.

Been Pre-Occupied
Sorry that I have been away. I've just been really pre-occuppied. Its not every day that you are the lead story in the local newspaper and have been the lead story on two local TV news channels.
