Bracket win upset!!

Although Oskaloosa has had a losing season of 3-18 going into post season, there was still a game or two to be played. Post season basketball is officially underway and Oskaloosa had their first regional game tonight. It was a late 7:00 game on a school night, over an hour away, so the girls and I stayed home but Craig and Char went there to cheer the team on.

We had played Washington earlier this year and had lost by three, so this was a winnable game. However, the rankings predicted Oskaloosa losing by 20. Well, that just wasn't so tonight. 

It was a slowpaced game back and forth all night, with Oskaloosa maintaining a lead for most of the game. At one point we were up by 9. But of course going down to the fourth quarter we got panicky and it became a two point game with about a minute to go. Unfortunately our starting, leading scorer post fouled out so it was hang on for dear life. In the end, our Freshman post hit a clutch shot to give us the lead by two with thirty seconds to go and somehow we hung on! Osky wins! Osky wins!

Definitely a great win and some glimmer of hope even for the next year's team. Unfortuantely we are set to play a tough Fairfield team on Saturday that we have played before and got shalacked...we shall play and give it our all, I'm sure. Stay tuned. 

Congrats girls and Coach Kaisand!

(PS...the girls and I made a congratulatory banner for Daddy to come home to...we made it before the game even started...we were confident :))
