Girls State Basketball 2011

This past weekend my team and I went to Steven's Point for the State Basketball tournament. We drove up on Friday and got to the Ramada (hotel) around 3p.m. At first we were going to go swimming, but then we decided to just hang out by the pool. So for the rest of the day we hung out, ate food and then later in the night watched a movie and ran around the hotel. On Saturday, we woke up at 8:30 a.m. to go eat breakfast. We found out very quickly that it wasn't very tasty so we just went back to our rooms and ate pop-tarts. Our first game was at 11:00, so we had to get to our game at 10:30. We got to our game, listened to some pump up music, and warmed up by shooting. Then the game started. We got an early lead in the first quarter; it was 11-3 right within the first 3 minutes. Then at half we were down 25-23. After this half we decided we needed to step up our game a little bit if we wanted to truly win. So we kicked our game into high gear and ended up winning, 45-30.
Our next three games for Saturday were a little different. Our next one we won by 5, 40-45. The one after that we won by 30, and after that 25. Finally it's Sunday. Our game to get into the final four. We played Beaver Dam and beat them by 8 to make us get into the final four. Next we would play Waunakee in order to get into the finals for the state championship game. We lost by 8... And unfortunately, our last time to try and win state for the second time, was over... In the end we got fourth, but out of 27 teams, I don't think it's that bad of a position.
