Victory in First Every Home Playoff Game

Tuesday, February 24 will live long in our memories.

That was the night our school hosted it's first every playoff game. The boys made the playoffs this year. (The girls were in the playoffs a few years ago...and had a game away which they lost.)They had a record of 14-10 coming in, which is the best record of any team EVER at our school.

The "home" game was at Liberty Christian, as there was not enough seating courtside for the fans for a CIF game at our Gym. It was very gracious of this sister school to let us use their great facility at no charge.

The Opponent was Butte Valley, a team the boys had played earlier in the season, and beat them on our home floor. This was a rematch.

There was a spirit of anticipation in the air. After Pastor Widmer introduced the starting line ups, Noel Agular sang the National Anthem and the game got under way. At the end of the first, the Lumberjacks were up on the Butte Valley Bulldogs by 5 points.

It was a close game through out, with the Lumberjacks being up by double digits, and then Butte Valley came back to tie the game. Howevery, key free throws and a few key baskets, sealed the victory for the Lumberjacks.

The home crowd was thrilled with the first ever home playoff win for our school. Great job guys.

They play on February 26 at Loyalton, CA...NW of Reno, N of Truckee at 7:00 p.m. And win or loose in the next game, we're proud of all you've accomplished this season.

One More Game

Been too busy transitioning to my new church to post much here, but thought I'd post with one more game to go.

The lady lumberjacks have had a great season that doesn't show up in the win-loss record. They've been playing hard, and have been in many of their games. With 8 on the team, they've been working hard. They have three wins on the season: American Christian Academy (Home Schoolers), Napa Christian at the PUC Tournament, and Paradise Adventist Academy...in Paradise. Which brings up the importance of the final game. Against Paradise at Home. That will be next Tuesday.

The guys on the other hand...have had a historic season. They have 12 wins on the season. No team has ever won twelve games. They started 9-0 or something like that...and have had a hard time in league play of late. They went 3-1 at the PUC Tournament, for the first 3 win tournament for our school. They also have one final game against the Paradise Adventist Academy boys team. It's the third game of the season for these teams. The Lumberjacks lost at the PUC Tournament, and again in Paradise. It should be an awesome game.

Go Lumberjacks and we'll see you at the gym...next Tuesday
