Biggest game...

Tonight, we tip at 6:30, in what is probably the biggest game I've ever been a part of. Sure, I was lucky to be on the bench against KU 7 times, Big XII tournament, and so on.
This game tonight though, is like playing in the "Sweet 16" round of the NCAA tournament.

We had a good day of practice Monday, and a decent day yesterday.

A Super exciting time of the year! I'll let you know how we do tomorrow!!

March to State continues...

Holy cow what a weekend...

We beat Blue Springs South 43-40, with a 3 pointer as 2.1 seconds were left on the clock. We played one of our worst games of the year, so we are extremely fortunate to be able to advance. Now we move on to the "Sweet 16" so to speak. There are only 16 teams left, we play Wednesday night, against Winnetonka at St. Joe.

You can hear the game audio feed live on the internet, we tip at 6:30. (www.liberty.k12.mo.us)

As you could imagine, we're super anxious for Wednesday to get here, and we truly believe we have a realistic shot at winning the Championship.

Thanks for all your support. Look forward to hearing from you soon!

Another update from L-Town...

The Liberty Bluejays won conference on Friday with a victory over Conference #2 Blue Springs South. We moved to 18-4, 10-0 with that win, and secured our conference championship. Afterwards we celebrated by cutting down the nets in front of a terrific home crowd. A terrific way to end our last home game of the year!
This past Monday we went to Rival Oak Park and got a win, which moved us to 19-4, 11-0. We have one remaining game, a conference battle v William Chrisman tomorrow, Friday the 16th.
After that, we play @ Blue Springs South v. either Blue Springs or William Chrisman in the first round of our district play. We hope to be playing our best basketball starting then.

The Royals pitchers and catchers reported today, which is cause for great joy in my life. I am hopeful that they will have a decent season, and I am definitely going to be out at The "K" this summer.

We had a couple of "Weather" days this past week. Which means instead of working, I was at the house, keeping updated on everything ESPN/CNN. It was a nice break, since I was a little under the weather anyways.

Hope everything is going well, a SUPER important week upcoming for us. We have worked hard to put ourselves in good position to make a run at this Championship, hopefully we will!!

Update...

Well, the whirlwind of a week/weekend is seemingly over and things went as well as could be expected.
They ended up doing a 6 way by-pass on Thursday. The procedure lasted from 7:30am-2:00pm. The Dr. came out and met with myself, my uncle, my brother, and my mother around 2:15 and told us that his heart was "very happy". He was very encouraged how well everything went, and said that my father will feel terrific.
Thank you all for your support through everything. I have printed off dozens of emails and taken them to him to see. He has been blown away by the support.

It was great to see Melynda obviously. She was(is) such a terrific help for my family this week. She is always a great help to me, and that was very well illustrated Thursday-Saturday. Her folks were also, as always, tremendous in helping my mom, and just being around to lend a hand when need be. They are a terrific family, and Melynda is the absolute best.

We play Monday, Tuesday, Friday of this week. Monday is a conference game, Tuesday is against the #2 team in the State, Columbia Rock Bridge, and Friday is our "Courtwarming" game v Blue Springs South, the #2 team in the conference. If we win tonight, we could clinch the Conference title with a win on Friday. Super exciting week upcoming!

Look forward to hearing from you soon!! Oh, and how bout those Wildcats!!!
