When it Rains, it Pours (aka 8th grade basketball is over)

It was a rough, emotional night tonight. D-man’s team lost the last two games of the season. It was an emotional night because it is the last time playing with this team, with these coaches in this facility. It is such a great group of boys and while some hope to go on to play high school basketball, it won’t be the same. 

We took a break between games and were able to talk which was good. We also took the long way home and hit Dairy Queen. I talked about how driving in a car on a Friday night made me think of high school - and just other things to keep the mood light. When we got home, D-man was playing the country song, “When it Rains, it Pours.” That certainly seemed a fitting way to sum up tonight. Of course, two games doesn’t make a season and it certainly has been fun to be along for the ride. Thanks Monarch boys for the memories. It was fun.
