Firday Night Hoops!

This upcoming weekend the mens and womens teams will be facing Regis and Metro State. Tonight the womens team played at 6 taking a win over Regis, but the men fell one point short to Regis in the final 2 seconds of the game. It was a devistating loss because the guys played there hearts out. But Regis just kept up with the skyhawks and got a lucky shot at the very end, also the refs were horrible, but nothing can be done about them. Hopefully the women will repeat their win again tomorrow, and the mean will pick their heads up, get their game right and win tomorrow as well. DeAndre made two dunks tonight both laid up by Jordan Brooks.

Classic Results

The skyhawk men took two wins this weekend in the pre-season classic. Their first opponent St. Edwards was a very intense physical game. From the stands you could clearly see bad sportsmanship from both teams, with trash talking, and unnessary roughness. Despite the drama the skyhawks took the win with a score of 83-73. In this game Jordan Brooks and DeAndre Landsdowne both got a dunk.

Texas Permian Basin... Defeated

The lady skyhawks had a home game last night against Texas Permian Basin, where they continued to show their strength and dominated the falcons. I was at the game and it was an extreme shout out.. when I had got to the game they had been playing for maybe five minutes and the score was 25-6. The skyhawks took the win at 75-38, an amazing performance. Top three scorers for the night were Abby Jackson, Mary Rose Paiz, and Audrey George, 13, 12, and 09. The ladies will continue there season with the record 5-1.

The Break

Being home was so good. Being with all of my family but also getting to see my other family for the holidays was nice to. This year we spent Thanksgiving with my step dads family which was nice because we (I) never see them. Over the break I spent a lot of time with my mom running ahrens and picking up all of our meat from hunting season. MMMM eld jerky is AMAZING!!! Now I am back in Durango hoping these next two weeks go by super fast!!

Trouble getting Home

So home was amazing but getting there, not so amazing. On my way home my car broke down on Wolf Creek Pass. Something was wrong with one of the belts, or something and almost to the top on the west side my car quit working. Of course there is not cell phone service. So I sat there for about an hour until a very nice couple and their friends stopped. It was two couples on their way to Estes Park, which is by where I live. They were so kind to drive me to the next town to get a tow truck. Thank God there are still a few nice people in this world. Once the tow truck picked me up we went and got my car drovet to the next town and took it to the shop. After that the boys fixed my car and $600 dollars and 5 hours later I was on my way again.
