Back Four More

Since today was our 4th annual South Wood County Empty Bowls event, I had to stay in town while hubby and company headed to Oconto Falls for the girls basketball sectional final.

It was a good thing I stayed because we were short on volunteers and we were very busy! In less than 4 hours, we fed almost 300 people and raised just shy of $5,000. That will be so awesome for the anti-hunger efforts in our area! I even won a basket raffle!

Jim kept me posted on the Assumption vs Suring game. I could tell it was going to be a bit of a blowout when the halftime score was 38-11. Our girls ended up winning 55-21!


Yay, girls! Heading to state next weekend for the 4th year in a row!

Jim and the Krings (his ride) got back to town at 5 and we ended up grabbing pizza in town quick before heading to Pittsville for the boys regional final.


After pulling off an upset last night, we had ours fingers crossed they could do it again. And just like last night, it was an intense, close game.

How close? Tied 20-20 at halftime AND check out the score with 3.9 seconds to go. In less than 4 seconds, Pittsville made 2 free throws and we got final possession. We had one of our seniors take the inbounded ball, hustle down court and heave it up before the final buzzer.

It did not go in. What a heartbreaking loss. I was tearing up looking at our senior boys doing the same. Uff da. What a bummer. They hardly got a chance to live in the glory of last night's victory. Hopefully that comes to mind these next few days.

When the game was over, we stopped back at Ida's, where we had pizza earlier, in order nurse our loss, and celebrate the girls "Back 4 More" trip to state!

You win some, you lose some.

Life lessons are hard any day.
