Today was the Bethany Holiday basketball tourney. Meg's team started the morning at 10 a.m. against Trinity Christian. The game quickly became lopsided in Bethany's favor. Thus, Meg played a lot of the second half. We were impressed with how well she did. She has truly become a leader on the court when playing with the JV. She talks to her teammates, passes the ball well and has greatly improved her defense and rebounding. It was a lot of fun watching her play.
After the game, the girls stayed and watched the boys' game. They then hung out at Kassy's until the evening championship round. While Mom, Dad and I went to her game this morning, Doug and Cameron headed to Indy instead. They had tickets to the Crossroads Classic featuring IU, Butler, Notre Dame and Purdue. The first game was between Butler and Purdue. The game wasn't too exciting with Purdue winning easily, but Cam and Doug had excellent seats near the Butler band. The second game pitted IU against Notre Dame. Cal and I watched the game totally expecting IU to lose. In fact with four minutes left Doug and Cam decided to head home. ND was up by 8 points and had the ball. They figured it was over and so did we. IU had a different thought, however, and soon tied the game with seconds left. Cam and Doug weren't too disappointed. They listened to a very exciting overtime on the way home in which IU held on to win.
It was a fun game to watch and I was glad I had Cal home to watch it with me. I was also happy that it ended before I had to leave for the Bethany game. That game was closer than the first game, but Bethany was able to prevail beating Lakeland Christian Academy by ten. Meg was happy as she and HM were not fans of one of LCA's players. The Bruins took a nice team picture afterward and then stayed to watch the boys play. I left for home after the game. Doug and Cam beat me there. Brett stayed in all day enjoying his first full day of Christmas vacation. It was a great day for all.
