The Consolation Game... (vs. Broadus)

We started very well with an 8-0 start, which caused them to call a timeout with 6:11 on the clock to stop our fun. Both teams were playing pretty wll compared to their usual, or atleast of what I have seen. The score at the end of thee firs quarter was 17-11. During the second quarter we got on another run causing them to call another timeout, with the score being 24-13 and the time out at 5:32. During the first 11 minutes we only had 1 foul, which was amazing. We played pretty well during the game, and they didn't so we won by at least 10 points, but I lost my score card as it is , so I will just try to remember the points, but Thats all.

Stats:
Amanda 1=2pointer, 6=3pointers for a total of 20 points
Kellee=14 points
Cassidy= 12 points
Kristia=10 points
Megan=5points
Someone=1 point

Team Totals
15=2pointers
9=3pointers
5=free throws

Sorry for the lack of information on the last game, but we won any way so that is good.

We also stayed for the Malta Fairfield game. It was very exciting and loud. They are big rivals. Malta was undefeated during the season, but Fairfield ended up winning it by 7 or 9. Fairfield have a girl that is 6'4" and several that are about 6'. Both of them are so much better than us, that I think they might have a chance of competing with some A or AA schools from Montana.

Thats all for now,

Travis, and thanks for giving me a constructive reason to be on the computer...

State Game 3 for Us. (vs. Big Timber for a place in the consolation game.)

The game started good for us as we made several baskets and got a small lead early in the game. The game was nearly silent, because there weren't very many people watching it. Makenzie Foster wsn't shut down by Cassidy like she ws when we played them for the divisional title. At the end of the first quarter the score was 15-8. Things weren't clicking as well for us as they had, so they did better than they should have. 44 for their team was pretty tall compared to our girls, so she made A LOT OF REBOUNDS. They beat us by nearly double the rebounds. We airballed 3 3-pointers in a row and weren't feeling too well. The game was tied at 17-17 in the middle of the second quarter. They got at least 6 rebounds while they were shooting without us disrupting them. At halftime the score was 24-18. We really didn't rebound well at all, so they caught up again with a score of 27-27. Then they were a little ahead for a while, until we again tied them 36-36. With 1:05 left in the game, the scoer was 42-39 so we started to waste some time. Cassidy got fouled several times and made her bonus free throws. The game ended with a final score of 46-41. WE WON!!! HuRay....

Stats:
Cassidy 3=2pointers, 2=3pointers, 1 foul, and 6 freethrows for a total of 18 points
Amanda 4=2pointers, 1=3pointer, 2 fouls, and 2 freethrows for a total of 13 points
Kristie 3=2pointers, 4=fouls, and 1 free throw for a total of 7 points
Megan 1=2pointer, 1=3pointer, and 1 foul for a total of 5 points.
The rest didn't have any points, but some fouls.

Sorry, but my stats were a little off for this game.

Team totals:
11=2 pointers
4=3 pointers
12=fouls
9=free throws

I think I will be cruel and leav you with this, even though the consolation game is over, sorry...
It is late, so I will update the last game in the morning, here that is.

Second and possibly second to last State game.

This game was against the undefeated Malta M-Ettes. We got the jump ball, but then we didn't play well. We made bad passes and got of to a very bad start. the score was 2-9 with 5:00 minutes left in the first quarter. Then Cassidy stole it and made a layup. The quarter score was 10-18. We made several three pointers, but they were matched directly by Malta with their next possession. They kept driving in and makig easy layups, because they were a little taller than us. They got into bonus with 1:43 left in the half. The score at half was 19-31. We gave them turnover after turnover and we were playing very badly, but it also might have been because they were playing good and pressuring us a lot. They kept pressing us even when they were ahead by a lot. They finally stopped pressing when the score was 33-55 in the last quarter. The Third quarters score was 33-55. They finally put in their JV when they were beating us 66-38 with 2:31 in the game left. We put in our Jv shortly following that and we ended the game as bad as we started with their JV outscoring ours 7-0. The final score was 38-73. OUCH!!!

Stats:
Kristie 6=2pointers, 4 freethrows and 5 fouls for a total of 16 points
Amanda 3=2pointers, and 1=3pointers and 1 foul for a total of 9 points
Cassidy 2=2pointers, 1=3pointer, and 5 fouls for a low total of 7 points
Kellee 1=3pointer, 1 freethrow, and 2 fouls for a total of 4 points
Kim 1=2pointer, and one foul for a total of 2 points

Team totals:

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!@#$%#!#%$@!$@!!!!

We didn't do so good. :")

First round at State (vs. Florence)

This game was at 12:30 on thrusday. The girls left wednesday evening, but the rest of the people left the next day. The game started slowly, but then something exciting happened. Brittney tore her ACL on one of her legs. She already had a brace on the other one, because she tore that one last year before the girls went to state. So, this year Brittney got to play a total of 1:23 at state. Then Kim came in for her. We weren't playing very well, so it was pretty even. The game was fast paced for both sides, but neither made many shots. We took the lead when we scored 2 3pointers in a row. Cassidy kept kicking it when they were trying to inbound it, so there were a lot of inbounding plays. At the end of the first quarter the score was 16-6. Hailey didn't do too well, and they scored over her 2 times in a row. We got into bonus with 1:12 left in the first half. At the end of the half the score was 28-17. We played better during the second half, but it was boring to watch, because we were ahead by quite a bit. At the end of the third quarter the score was 43-27. One of the amazing things for this game was that Kristie had only one foul for the first three quarters combined. She had a total of two, which is the lowest that I have ever seen her make. Cassidy had a lot of two pointers at the begining of the game and Kristie had a lot of two pointers at the end of the game. Their JV came in with 2:06 left, and ours tried to come in, but the clock kept going so finally Kerry had to call a time out so they could play a little bit. The final score was 55-36.

Stats:
Cassidy 5=2pointers 1=3pointer 5=freethrows and 1fouls for a total of 18 points
Kellee 2=2pointers 2=3pointers 5=freethrows and 3fouls for a total of 15 points
Kristie 5=2pointers 2=freethrows and 2 fouls for a total of 12 points
Amanda 2=3pointers and 2 fouls for a total of 6 points
Hailey 1=2pointer and 1foul for 2points
Bobbi 1=freethrow and 1foul for one point
Asheli 1 freethrow for one point

Team Totals:
2-pointers=13
3-pointers=5
Freethrows=14
Fouls=11(wow)

We will leave right after school to go to the game against another first ranked Malta. They are really good, so it should be a tough game, especially since Brittney is out for the rest of the year.

Divisional Championship Game Spoiler: We Won (Vs. Big Timber)

The game was at the Columbus High School at 8:00 p.m. The game started by winning the jump ball. We hit a 3 pointer at the begining of the gmae. We started off playing ok, but not as spectacular as the Huntley Project first half or the Manhattan Christian game. Big Timber had a press that started by working pretty well, until we finally caught on that we had to use a press breaker. The first quarter ended with us being down 12-13. During the second quarter, we played pretty sloppy, but we got in bonus with 3:45 left in the half, so we were able to make some free throws. Both teams were pretty even, through the half. The half ended with us up 18-16. Then in the second half we started to play better and got up even more. Then we played worse with some bad passes and such. Amanda Reed got a pretty good stuff, and Brittney got called a foul, when it looked like the other player just tripped. At the end of the third quarter the score was 31-24. We kept getting fouled, so we were able to make quite a few free throws, but Kellee fouled several times and they also got into bonus at 5:07 left in the game. With about 4 minutes left we started to stall, because we were ahead by about 10 points. We played well at the end, and got into double bonus, which allowed Cassidy to make some free throws. We won the game by 14 with a final score of 49-35. We will now be going to state, which is in Hamilton. There we will first play Florence, and if we win, we will probably play Malta that was the first ranked Northern Team. I expected Fairfield to win Northern, but they were beat in the Championship game by a couple of points. The first game is at 12:30 for us, but I don't know if the band will be going, or if I will even if the band goes.

Stats:
Cassidy had 4 2-pointers, 8 free throws, and 2 fouls for a total of 16 points
Kristie had 5 2pointers, 5 free throws, and 3 fouls for a total of 15 points
Kellee had 2 2pointers, 1 3pointer, 2 free throws, and 4 fouls for a total of 9 points
Amanda had 2 3pointers, 2 free throws, and 2 fouls for a total of 8 points
The rest of the players only had fouls and no points.

Team totals:
2pointers=11, 3pointers=3, freethrows=17, and fouls=16

This time I think my stats were better than the last game.

I didn't play the French Horn, so I felt sort of bad, but I went with the band anyway.

Game two and Divisionals.(vs. Huntley "Project")

The game started out amazing for us. We won the jump, and Kristie went down and mad a quick 3 pointer. Then we scored two 2 pointers to make the score 7-0 with 7:17 left in the quarter. We kept scoring and the score was 15-0 with 3:35 left in the first quarter. Their first points were a 3 pointer that came from number ten, who would score most of their points. At the end of the first quarter it was 17-3. We kept getting lucky, and making our shots, while they kept getting unlucky and missing theirs. There were a lot of jump balls for us that could have been fouls with another referee. Kristie missed a buzzer beater 3 pointer and we ended the half 34-13. That was the best again that I have seen them play, even better than against Manhattan Christian. The opposing team started to play a lot better the next half. We also started to play a lot worse. they were starting to catch up at the end of the 3rd quarter. The score was 40-24. Kristie fouled out while they made the basket and the extra. Cassidy missed here two free throws from the fouls, and we were surprised. Huntley Project had an 8-0 scoring run, and they kept playing better. The game just kept getting worse. The score was 48-41 with 1:14 left to play. then they caught up even more and the score was 49-47 with 26 seconds left. We stepped it up a little, which was enough for us to pull out ahead, but it was really close, and if we have another game like that half we won't win the Championship, which is Saturday at 8:00. Another long day in Billings.
