End of Season Tournament

 "Ready for a rematch with Dixie."
 "We beat Dixie 21-16 to advance to round 2, and I scored 2 points and prevented about 10."
 "Lunchtime fun with my team."
 "Jaden & me hanging out in the sporting goods store waiting for the next game."
 "Taking on Graham in one of the most unfairly refereed games ever. We were playing at Graham against Graham with Graham referees. We had 16 fouls called and Graham had none. Then dad, yelled "good job" to one of my teammates that made a shot, and was told by the referee to shut up. He made our head coach sit down even though the Graham coach was walking around and yelling much louder. All the sweeter that we still won with them shooting 30 free throws!"
 "I even scored 2 points. On to round 3."
 "We battled hard against a super tough undefeated Trotwood team, but still lost. This was their lowest scoring game of the season. It is a double elimination tournament, so we moved on to round 4."
 "I'm the shooting blur. We took on Tipp City, who had battled their way through the loser's bracket in Round 4."
 "It was a tough game, but we hung in and won!"

 "Guess what?"
 "We get to play in the Championship Game against Trotwood! Woo Hoo!"
"Getting a pre-game pep talk from dad. . .um. . .Coach Ken."
