SOOOO Exciting!
Last night, Ryan's (school) basketball team played for the Regional Quarter Finals, being two games away from the State Championship game. It was SO exciting. We took the first quarter 11-1, then the second quarter ended with the score 20-17. So we had to sit through a very tense half-time wondering if the oposing team was going to come back from halftime strong. They did, but our girls came out on a screaming tear and totally dominated them.
So they are on their way to San Angelo for the Regional Semi-Final game to be played on Friday. If they win that, they'll play for the Regional Championship on Saturday. If they win THAT we play for the Texas State 4A Championship. No girls' team from Crowley has ever gone this far (in basketball). Craig is in Nashville today and won't be back until tomorrow morning so we'll head down there then.
Ryan had a FANTASTIC game... probably the best we've ever seen her play. One of the college coaches that's recruiting her showed up to the game last night and afterwards asked Ryan's coach if Ryan was capable like that every game. He said she almost always plays like that. Big compliment!
Anyway, I'm proud of ALL the girls on the team. They all played together SO well and just looked like they had a ton of fun doing it! As the school bus rolled into town last night after the game, they were escorted by two police cars (one in front, one in back) with their lights and sirens blaring! All the cars that were coming down Main St obviously pulled over but when they saw that the Police were escorting a school bus everyone started honking their horns. It was really cool for the girls! Such is life in small town Texas. We lovessssss us some sports!!
