18-4

Yippee! That was a close one tonight! The team traveled to Norwalk for their final regular season game of the year and a chance to win conference. We had to win tonight vs. Norwalk and PC had to lose against Grinnell. We did our part, but PC won, so that means that we got 2nd in the conference...bummer! So close!

The game tonight did not come easily. Aubrey and I made the long trek over and of course Grandma Char and Grandpa Craig were there too. We managed to maintain a lead for the entire game until there was 20 seconds left and it was a 3 point game. Norwalk had to make a three to tie it and send it into OT and they did! UGH, then we had about 10 seconds to get a shot off for the win and we had a chance, but it didn't go it so it sent it into OT with a score of 34-34. 

THANKFULLY the girls hung on and pulled it out with a 46-39 win which came down to a couple free throws at the end, including an extra two from our best player from an intentional foul! It feels good to get this momentum going into play-offs next week! We get a bye in the first round so we don't play until next Saturday! There will be one final rankings list out by Tuesday. I'll try to update when we know more. Right now we are ranked #15 still, but have won our last three games so that could change...stay tuned :) 

CONGRATULATIONS on the best regular season record for the 
Girls Basketball team in the history of Oskaloosa!
