The Varsity Girls Basketball team competed at the Provincial Tournament. The South Zone hosted this year, so Jill's first game was a a home game against Centennial. We didn't win the first game. The second game we played against Foothills and won. We did lose the third game against Bishop Carroll. It was fun to be a part of the tournament.
Sidenote: my parents had a mission farewell that Sunday to go to serve two 6-month missions at Heber Valley Girls Camp. We told them we couldn't come because we didn't know how the basketball tournament would go. Jill's team was done on Friday, so we thought about making a quick trip down on Saturday. But as we drove home from Lethbridge that night debating whether or not to go, I listened to 3 out of 4 kids cough all the way home. So that clenched the decision not go.
-Update- a week before my parents were supposed to leave, my Dad went to the doctor and found out he needed hernia surgery. So they ended up not going on their mission this summer. Hopefully they can go next summer.
The boys team barely won their last game of the zone tournament to qualify for provincials. Then they played awesome and made it to the championship game, but they ended up in 2nd place.
Jill was invited to play in the All-Star game. Her team won. It was awkward for for the first few minutes to now be playing with these girls that you have competed against for so many years, but then they got in the groove and had a fun game. She got an 2nd Team All-Star award!
And that ends Jill's high school basketball career.
