WHAT A GAME!

If you were at the Panther Invitation Varsity championship game, I am not telling you anything you didn't see.  Our Panthers were playing the top seeded team in the league, St. Matthew Westland, the grade school that I went to.  The Raiders (St. Matthew) have already beaten us a few times, including last week in the Northville Christian tournament.

The game was back and forth all game long.  One of the refs, who refs for High school games, said that game was the best and most exciting game which he has seen all season.  Our 8th grade boys were determined to win this game.  They did everything they could to score, steal the ball, and get rebounds.  St. Matthew also played very hard.  The Raiders best player in that game, who is also my cousin, hit a three pointer from the corner in the final seconds to tie the game up.

In overtime we shut down the raiders and won the game.  The excitement from the boys and the crowd felt like it was a high school state championship game.  This is the first year we won our own tournament.  Coach Poe did a wonderful job preparing the boys.

Next week we take on Guardian in the first round of  the league tournament.

Our JV team also played some tough games and finished 4th.  Below are some pictures from the tournament.
