Varsity Tournament

Today was the St. Michael Invitational, and since one of the teams backed out, Holy Cross was asked to fill their place in the tournament. Since the varsity team had only six players, I was invited to play as well.

We easily got past the first round, beating Central Lutheran soundly. A few hours later we played in the championship game against the home team. St. Michael is significantly better than Central, so we all prepared ourselves for a tough game.

Our preparation was not in vain. St. Michael won the tip, and in the first few seconds of the game had a breakaway for an easy layup. However, we headed down the court and answered. At halftime the game was tied 8-8.

In the third quarter I was fouled twice, and one was a bonus - if you make you first one, you get a second chance, if you don't, then it's a live ball off the rim. I made both, and on the next play I stole a pass for a layup.

However, late in the game St. Michael took the lead, and we weren't able to come back. We ended up losing 24-17, after a good, close game. Go Saders!
