When Won

It's been a whirlwind past two weeks as Sam wrapped up a conference tennis tournament with a second place,... then on to the Regionals where he and his partner Alex swept the 4 doubles and took the championship! The rest of Sam's teammates,... well, they all swept their flights to win Regionals. Next stop,... STATE!

Hannah had a milestone of her own over this weekend. "Dad! You'll never believe it!" came the phone call.

"Oh no,.. please tell me that you didn't break a perfect streak. Streaks are so hard to keep going," Hannah's team (5-6th grade girls basketball) had struggled a great deal over the season and had yet to win a game.

"We did. We won our first game," you could hear the relief in her voice. "The game took two and half hours to play and we had five overtimes and I never came out I was so exhausted!"

I was exhausted after hearing it. For a youth basketball game, which plays 6 minute quarters, 150 minutes seemed a little unbelievable - but it was true.
