The weather was beautiful for the long-awaited trip to Southwestern for the annual Basketball Classic. It was in the mid 60s and sunny on the day I took this picture in the front of campus. I took 10 Guys Varsity Basketball players along with the coach to Texas from Wednesday the 24th through Sunday the 28th of January. We finished 3-3 with 2 losses to Forest Lake Academy (one by 33-31) who went on to win the Tournament for the 2nd consecutive year in a row.
Here is a picture of the team before we played Shenandoah Valley Saturday night. The team didn't want to stay for the supper I signed up for and so they also skipped the picture. It was a good learning experience for them as they got a shot to their ego after going 8-0 in Ohio so far.
Here is the half-time S.W.A.T. Gymnastics show performed by the Southwestern Gymnastics led by Chad Hutchinson. He has done a good job there according to everyone I talked to at S.W.A.U. It was fun to see the wall-walkers too.
Here is a picture of the informal Slam-Dunk competition after the Championship Games ended. Even though the picture is dark, you can still see all the people gathered around, also in the bleachers. The F.L.A. guys won and the CAYA girls won. The week was very tiring as M.V.A. played 6 games at the Tournament, and including our games in Ohio on Monday and Tuesday, we played a total of 8 games of 6 days! Today was our first day without a game since last Sunday. Our next game will be @ home on Feb. 6 and we finish the season the following week with Senior Night on Thursday, Feb. 15. Then the next week the Guys team will start playing in the State Sectionals. I had fun on the trip but it is also a relief it is done and all went relatively smoothly with no major problems.
