Over the past few weeks I've been providing you with updates on my Grandson's high school basketball team.
Luke played on the JV team. But when their season ended, the coach called him and three of his teammates up to the Varsity squad. They were not eligible to play but they were able to practice and travel with the team.
Last Friday, Luke's team played for their conference championship. It was thrilling to watch as Luke's team took an early lead and then held on all the way to the end. They ended up winning the game by 8 points.
At the trophy presentation, the team and the students rushed the court, celebrating their first conference championship in 10 years. And Luke was right in the middle of it! I was so happy for him and hope that the experience will motivate him and his teammates to contend for the championship next year.
Today I learned that Luke's team will be playing tomorrow night in a sectional tournament. Should they win, they will play against the number one rated team in their division. Should they chalk up another victory, they would play for a state championship with the game held at Michigan State University.
No matter the final outcome, it has been such a joy to watch our Grandson play, even though we here in Arizona. I watched a few minutes of the Phoenix Suns the other night and it was BORING! I'd much rather follow Luke's high school team or Grand Canyon University. My front row seat at home is pretty sweet!
