Good (but unnecessary) luck to the Prentice team. Safe travels and enjoy the fish fry.

Thanks. Eight of us went and there must have been another 100 fans from Prentice. We had almost as many fans as the home team. Keep in mind only 600 people live in the school district. I knew most of the fans. We were the visitors.

They goed and ended up with an eight point win. Was ugly at times but in the end I had a big smile.

In a day people won’t remember how pretty it was. Only if they won or lost.

We won again tonight. I can’t remember the score but it was another blowout. Our number 30 scored his 1,000th point tonight on this runaway layup.

Congrats to #30 and the rest of the team. 1000 points, what an achievement.

Yesterday was the grade school tournament at Prentice. Both gyms were being used from 10 am to about 4pm. Each gym had six games played. Prentice won all three of their games.

The Prentice School District consists of one Campus for all 12 grades and is currently 227 students. They don’t have much of a football or hockey program as they are expensive. Basketball is the cheapest program and they go big on it. Most school districts are twice our size and only have one gym. The high school (just the high school) I went to in Spokane had around 1,200 students so our conference is one of the lower ones.

The players on the team are the sons of several generations of people that have attended the school since it was started. I believe it’s an old school even though the building is just 30-50 years old. It’s been added on several times.

You don’t see any signs of politics here nor of any rainbows. Walking the halls you will see Bible quotes students have plastered on their lockers. No purple hair or rings except for the girls ears. And certainly no tattoos.

Yep this guy fits right in. GO BUCCANEERS!

It's nice to fit in.

Another road game tonight. The kids love it when people cheer for them.

[Sir Henry]

We won again tonight after loosing the last game by five points. We are now 12-1 in our division and 16-2 overall in a 20 game season.

[Sir Henry]

At the last game one of the players broke the school all-time scoring record. I learned his scoring record is 1,535 points. He played varsity even in his freshman year.

[Sir Henry]

We won again tonight against a team that lost all five starters because they were caught drinking. We were ahead by more than forty with eight minutes to play so the mercy rule kept the clock running continuously. Then we let them have a ten point run out of respect. We could have easily scored 110 plus against their 38 at the time.

We won again last night and are now 17-1 in our division and 17-2 overall. One game is left on Thursday. Last night’s game was on the road and we had more fans in the seats than the home team.

Having the fan support is great Gene. I hope you and your friends keep it up. (I know you will)

Go Bucs!

[Sir Henry]

Go Bucs!

Yes Bucs are short for the Buccaneers and since Milwaukee has the NBA Bucks we often shorten it to the Bucks and refer to them like they are deer.

[Sir Henry]

Tonight’s playoff game was a blowout. All teams in the league make the playoffs so we as the third best team played the third worst team. Below are the scores at halftime and the final. We could have easily scored more but out of respect they stopped scoring at 99.
