State Basketball.....

This past weekend was state basketball! I love this time of year & always look forward to it. Dani & I took of Thursday afternoon after I got done with lab. We got into Casper around 1:30 and headed to the hotel to meet up with the fam. After getting ready we ate at Olive Garden (delicious)! After dinner we headed to the gym and spent the rest of the night watching 4 basketball games. It's crazy how times change, when I was younger the last thing I wanted to do was sit in the gym & watch games all day, now that's all I want to do! We did miss the girls' game because it was earlier in the morning, which stinks because it was a great game. The girls played Lingle Fort Laramie & the boys played Burns, both of them won moving onto the Semi-Finals.

I got these pictures from different websites (Wyopreps & the Casper Star Tribune), so I could have pictures with my post. I wish I could take pictures as good as these!!

We got back to the room pretty late, got to bed after hanging out for awhile, and woke up early the next day to watch lots more basketball. At the event center we got to eat yummy donuts, which I've been craving forever, & frozen lemonades (talk about amazing)!! Once again because the Lovell boys had the late game we got back to the room very late so we hung out for a bit & went to bed. The girls played Tongue River in the semis & won, which is about the first time ever that Lovell has beat them at the state tournament! The boys played Wyoming Indians, and lost. Man, the Chiefs had a great game, they were making everything & there's not a lot that you can do about that when whatever they throw up goes in, the Bulldogs played awesome!

After sleeping in Saturday morning, we went to eat a Godfather's before the boys game. There was the college tournament, so the boys 3th & 4th place game was played at Kelly Walsh. They played Kemmerer, and won! Good job boys, it was fun watching!!

Straight from that game, we headed to the event center to watch the girls' championship game. They played Burns & it was a great game. Lovell played amazing & won! It was Lovell girls' 2nd basketball championship & it's been 11 years since the last one. Great Job ladies & congratulations that's awesome!!

I stole your picture Aunt Michelle, I needed one! I'm glad someone remembered a camera :)

Both the boys & girls played amazing this weekend. It was great to get to watch 2 talented teams who did great at the tournament & throughout the entire season. It was totally worth the trip to see them play and spend time with my family, without worrying about school!
