high school state basketball

Last night the kennedy boys played in the first round of the state basketball tournament. They've had a really good year with only two regular season losses. They were great through districts and last night they started the last stage of their road to a state championship. I think the team can win it all this year, they have a team full of seniors who are really determined. Some of the guys have been playing varsity for three years now.

I got to the stadium with a group of guys around 330. They wouldn't even open the gates until 530 so we walked around for a bit then decided to just wait at the gate. People started to slowly line up behind us until 530 when it was packed and they finally let us in. The student section filled up with white extremely fast and everyone got a good show as we won by 5 in a game that got a little too close for comfort.
