Lucy was excited for grade 8 basketball season.
Her first tournament was at Gilbert Patterson. They lost to Stirling, and then beat St. Francis and Nanton so they were the consolation champs.
The next tournament was in Medicine Hat - her first overnight tournament.
They won their first game in overtime. Then they played Barnwell which had a couple giants and they lost. They won the third place game. It was a fun weekend.
Carly and I were on our way to Medicine Hat to watch Lucy's tournament when we decided to see if Annie-Jo would want to come with us. So we stopped in Taber on our way and picked her up. We had a fun time. We stayed at a different hotel than the team, but we went and swam with the team. Carly was freaked right out that we were going to get in trouble for it. But it was so busy no even noticed. Hanna had two games so Austin stayed home to watch her.
Lucy also had a tournament at G.S. Lakie. They won their first game against R.I. Baker. Their next game was at 8:15 am so they had to leave at 6:30 am. Austin took her in to drop her off at the bus and then decided he was going to watch her. So he came home, changed his clothes and drove to Lethbridge to watch her first game. Then they lost to Stirling and won their third place game. We had a southern circuit rodeo that Saturday so we missed her last game.
Lucy's team is really fun to watch. During their regular season, they only lost 3 games - one to Raymond in overtime and twice to Stirling.
In divisional playoffs, they beat Spring Glen and Raymond and lost to Stirling. Yes, we played Stirling five times and got closer to winning each time. She ended up second in divisionals.
Then it was time for zones. They played against Raymond and won by quite a bit. Her team played outstanding. Hanna was playing at the exact same time at LCI so we were watching Hanna online when we were at Lucy's game.
Lucy's team played against Gilbert Patterson in the zone final. Her game was once again at the exact same time as Hanna's game - and it was Hanna's senior night so we went to Hanna's game and got updates for Lucy's game. It was a hard battle, but Lucy hit two 3-pointers at the end that brought her team within 3 points. But then the other team built a lead again and Lucy's team lost. Aunt Sarah and some of her kids were there to support Lucy, and Jewel Hardy sent updates and pictures. Lucy got player of the game!
