6:01 a.m - So when you are scheduled to work the last place game in a tournament - in this case the determining game of 7th place out of 8 teams...well, you just have to be ready to have basketball that's just not very good. And most spectators, despite the shortcomings of the teams they are watching, just don't understand that the officials can't make bad basketball look better. In the end, we got through it. And after the second game, which wasn't much better, we had good food waiting for us, which was SO nice.
And at school....the semester is winding down to a close as I would hope. Today is a half day, and my guess is that most students will not be in attendance, which is great. But then we have in-service, which won't be great. Because with 9 days until Christmas, professional development isn't exactly on the minds of teachers.
Later today, though, is our trip to Wharton Fieldhouse for the game between Quincy and Moline. I'm just tired enough now from another long week, that I'm not feeling the same level of nervousness that I might feel. I'm excited for Shawn and Marcus that they get to work a game at Wharton, as it is the best place for basketball in the Quad Cities. The place is just "old-school" and it has so much history.
