Hurricane Update

Thought it was probably time to give the scoop on my favorite high school basketball team (has nothing to do with the fact that their coach is a hottie).

Hard to believe we are already at mid-season! The 'Cane are 7-1 and ranked 19th in the Associated Press Ohio Division II poll. Their only loss came to Dayton Dunbar back before Christmas. Dunbar is the top-ranked team in Ohio and we actually had the lead much of that game. We're still playing without Jordan, last year's FAVC Player of the Year. Hopefully, his ankles/foot will be healed enough to play this weekend. You've got to hand it to the rest of the team, though. They've played hard and upped their games in his absense. It's been fun watching them blow teams away!

It will be interesting to see what happens this weekend. Mike's team has three games in four days (insane!). They've got a conference foe at home Friday, then two national powerhouses in tournaments on Saturday and Monday. I watched tape on one of the teams, Christ H.S. out of N.C., and boy they are TOUGH! They are ranked No. 20 in the latest USA Today national poll and have six kids who have signed with Division I programs. Their big kid is playing for my beloved Coach K at Duke next year! One thing is for sure, though, the Hurricane won't play scared. Nope, not these kids. I love that about them.

The family is doing well. After bragging that I never get sick, I was blindsided by a stomach bug last week. Booooooo. Toughed it out for the most part. Taylor is happy be back at school and Michael has been a riot lately with all of his talking and actions. I'll have to get a video of his "routine". So funny.

Jordan played about two minutes before injuring his good ankle. :(

Quinten applying pressure. Q has signed to play with Miami U next season.

Until next time,
