Region b-ball

I just got back from a teachers region basketball game. It was an awesome game and we pulled it out in the end. I scored two 3-pointers and a toe-one-the-line 2-pointer. When we were down 31-35, I hit a big three to pull within one. Although the adrenaline of a close soccer game can get really high, there is nothing quite like the intensity of a close basketball game. We played good defense and took pretty smart shots.

*Highlight of the night* Before the game, the ref asked one of the players on our team to say the prayer, however, he is not a member, so we weren't sure how he was going to handle it. He did really well, until the very end, it went like this:

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this day, thank you for letting us get to come play this fun game, basketball. Help us to have good sportsmanship. In the name of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints, amen.

It was so awesome, we chuckled and turned to him, "that was totally pro," he said.
