Prentice High School basketball

That's great Gene.
Not being a fan of any sport anymore, I did like your concise wrap up of the game. Very informative and well written.

Well I did make one error. The next level is still a winner advances and the loser goes home. Two more games and we advance to the state level and play in the 17,000 Kohl Center in Madison. We are already making plans to go to the three-day event.

Another game tonight. This time it’s against nearby Rib Lake. We went to the latte shop there today wearing our Prentice shirts. Lots of people wearing both teams shirts. The game will be in Medford as a neutral place. We will be in white so everyone will be wearing white. I came up with the idea of wearing Whitey Tidies as hats. Plus being the Bucs as in pirates we will be wearing a patch over one eye. Should be a fun game.

We won 75-57 against a team that didn’t want to loose. We lead by 15 to20 points most of the night and as time elapsed they got more desperate and were getting more and more fouls. Sometimes they were blatant fouls and far too aggressive. I thought two opposing players should have been thrown out.

Their fans were not very vocal or animated.

We were really up for the game and most of us dressed in white. These pictures are of the smaller side as I was on the larger size. The gym seats about 550 and it was standing room only with overflow watching the game on TV in the adjacent cafeteria.

These two fans were wearing a Whitey Tidies on their heads.

Tomorrow they wear their black uniforms so we are getting black underwear to wear on our heads. Nothing like men in their 70’s still thinking it’s 1970.

Boy, the team must love you guys!

It was a squeaker. Tied with less than 9 seconds left.

We inbound the ball and score with about 4 seconds on the clock. They get the ball and make a wild throw at the buzzer and it doesn’t go in.
