Leaving it ALL on the Court!

Well, they did it! They left it ALL on the court. The Albion Knights had a very eventful Saturday. They had to play both of the teams they lost to in the season to head to the championship game. They started with Butler. Here is the recap: At the end of the first quarter they were down by 12 points. By the half they were tied. They went back and forth. At the end of the third quarter they were down by 6 points and in the end they tied and had to go into overtime. It was intense! They ended up winning my 12 points. On to the Championship game. We played Crescent View, who we lost to earlier because of 30 turnovers. They boys had psyched themselves out before, but they were ready this time. Two friends from High School were there watching their boys play. Tyson and Connor (Tara Aste Ogden's son) battled underneath the entire game. It got a little heated. We were neck and neck the whole game. We then were up by 10 points. With about 2 minutes left Crescent View hit three 3 point shots. With about 1 minute left we were down by 2 points. In the end we lost, but what a game. After the game Tyson gave me a big hug and said, "Mom, I left it all on the court." To me that says everything! He had 18 points, 16 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 blocked shots and he battled the entire game. Tyson we are so proud of you! What a season! We celebrated by going to Yogurt Stop with the team. We don't know how their revenue will do since we won't be going there every Thursday and Saturday to celebrate. Then, we took the two darling girls seen in the picture, Kolette and Abbey, Albions biggest fans, to dinner. These two girls have come to almost every Super League game and every Canyons District game. We have come to love them as our own. They were also so good to Bryn. All in all it was a great season! Thanks also to Grandpa and Grandma Gillespie for all of your love and support. You are the best!
