Worth the Wait

When I walked into the gym tonight and didn't see the other team there yet, I thought we were replaying Friday night when we "won" by forfeit. Part of me was happy to see we'd get another win. The other part thought it seemed too cheap to call it a win.

Luckily we heard from the opposing team -- Amherst -- and they were just running behind because their bus arrived late picking them up.

When all was said and done, it was worth the wait.

It was quite a battle on the court tonight. Really a physical game of pushing, shoving, defending and grabbing for the ball. The game stayed neck and neck all the way through, with only 2 points separating them at halftime. Carter did not play a whole lot. Mainly the bench was relieving the starters so they could catch their breath.

No matter whose kids were in there, all of us parents alternated between cheering (since we finally had a close game to cheer about) and biting our nails. In the end, we held onto our slim lead and won 47-43! Whoo-hoo!

What a morale booster for the team!

Afterwards, we raced over to the high school so Carter could play in Pep Band before the girls varsity game vs. Pittsville. We stayed for 3 quarters and then came home so Carter could get his homework done. I think he's having a tough time concentrating.

It's pretty exciting to be in the win column -- and deserve it!
