Post #4: Homeschool Basketball Update

   WE WON, WE WON, WE WON!!!  Cue Queen's "We are the Champions!"  This time I get to actually claim "Tournament Champions!"  I have two sisters on the Varsity Girls Basketball team, and I'm so proud of them and their team.  Not only did they win the championship at the annual ND2CHA (National Division 2 Christian Homeschooling Association) http://nd2cha.com/ tournament, but they also beat our rivals ending our two year losing streak.  They played phenomenally!  For the sixth year in a row, our team made it into the Varsity A Championship and this time we emerged victorious!  We beat our rivals in the semifinals (due to ranking issues) and beat the other finalists 59-45.  Cydnee Birtell, a senior, had the game of her career scoring 19 points, and draining 5 threes.  Olivia Hamilton, also a senior, showed up and played a solid game, per usual, scoring nearly 20 points herself.  All in all, throughout the tournament each and every girl contributed to help us make it into the championship and win with flying colors!  This week, the girls will be playing a game everyday at the National Homeschool Tournament in Springfield.  I wish them the best!
