IT'S ON TO THE FINALS!

Yesterday we played Blanchet and held on to a berth in the final game of the Oregon State 3A Basketball Playoffs.  It was a hard-fought game.  FANS-FANS-FANS arrived and supported the team with great enthusiasm.  Salem Academy girls are in the playoffs and have a rousing student support section who joined ours and gave strong voice to our crowd!  We did the same for them in their game that followed - what brotherly love!

Here is a photo of the HORIZON HAWK bench during this semi-final game.   Now we move on to the final game to determine this year's State Champion.  It is a rare privilege to have played in the final game for 4 years in a row.  Who will we play tonight?  The Dayton Pirates - our arch rival in our own league - amazing! 



The Hawk Team is doing well - only a couple of minor injuries and no illness that is affecting our play (only a sportmom would be sure to include this info).They are eating well - they weathered pouring rain to enjoy a steak-chicken-rib dinner after the game.  Our community HOSTS arranged for the team to go to a locals place in Coos Bay called Coach House - the food was outstanding!  Pastor Stan, Karen and his parents joined us - what a treat! 

Today the team will take a walk on the beach, breathe in the sea air and gear up for tonight's competition.  And that is a peek into life BEHIND THE BENCH!
