Cassandra Won!!!

Cassandra's basketball team took first place in their district tournament last night. They played Marsing. Marsing had not lost a game all year. Our girls played like their lives depended on it. Cassandra fouled out the last 30 seconds of the game. They played hard. They won 24-17. It was a close game the whole time.
When they got off the freeway they were met by our fire department. They escorted them back into town with their lights and sirens on. They did a little tour through the town. Fire department with their sirens and the girls screaming out the bus windows, and parents following behind honking their horns. People that have lived here a long time know what that means. Someone has won an important game. Usually State for the high school. But for the Middle School they dont have state. They only have districts. For those that havent lived here very long, they wonder if the world is coming to an end. All part of living in a small town. I love it!
So the girls will have their picture taken and put on a plaque. It will be hung in the trophy case right next to their trophy. They are super excited.

Congrats to Cassandra on winning the tournament! Sounds like a fun night. Sad we missed you guys this weekend. We fought the snow and the snow won. You'll have to see the snow we got today. I put it on my blog. It's insane! Love,

Heather
