Well our high hopes were ultimately dashed by an artist type.We hosted the area tournament today; the top two teams would go to state. My team played well--the best they ever have, and managed to win the first two games, one easily; one not so easily. The third round showed great promise, as they managed to take an early lead over the top-seeded team, but they slowed in the third quarter and lost. Since we had already won over the runner-up team, we weren't extremely worried about them...I guess we should have been. The excelled at history and art and current events; we excelled at math, science, and sports. Unfortunately, there was a sixty second round called: famous artists and their works. They took it, and got nine out of ten correct, which gave them a nearly impossible lead, if not numerically, at least psychologically. So the other team won. We felt a little deflated. No state tournament this year.
On the bright side, I was proud of my team! They played well; they kept a good attitude; and they were good hosts. Several of them helped me set the rooms up, fix food for the hospitality room, keep time and score, and clean up after it was all over. In perspective, of the thirty teams in our area, we were ranked third. Thanks, Team! I appreciate you!
