Last night was the conclusion of the BEST girls' basketball season in 4 years. Batesville got the bye in the Sectional tournament and they played Greensburg. The game was one of the closer ones played this season and at times it was a one point game. Greensburg lead at the end of the first quarter by 2 points and at the end of the first half we were down 4. This was great since in the beginning of the first quarter Greeensburg was leading by 7 or 8 points.
The second half began and the game turned into a back and forth contest with Batesville taking the lead. Somehow Greensburg was able to get some timeouts called in their favor when another call should have been made in Batesville's favor. As the final minutes and seconds ticked off the clock Batesville was unable to overcome the point deficit that Greensburg had produced. We ended up losing a very hard fought game and a game that very easily could have been ours.
I am saddened to see the season close like it did, and even more melancholy about it maybe being Jason's last as a Varisty coach. Coaching is very much one of Jason's passions and it is a passion that the kids and I enjoy with him. It will be odd to attend a game and not see Jason sitting on the bench or up yelling out some play. It all depends on what the Lord has in store for us over the next few months.
It is Over!

why is jason not coaching any more?
Bummer about the loss, sometimes it feels good just to know, your team played well, although that can be hard too. Hope you enjoy what the Lord has in store for you!!
Okay, so now that you guys aren't tied up with basketball anymore, we need to get our families together some weekend! We can have a big pizza party! :)
