"We Are The Champions"
Guess what?!? We won yet another state tournament! My dad is pretty proud of himself. In the first game we played Buffalo, only won by 6. Second game we played Eastview, we beat the them by about 15 points. Third game we beat Eden Prairie, pretty good team, we were happy to beat them. We beat them by 8, I think... Championship we played Wayzata, we had a tough time in the beginning, as in the first half, but we played harder and we won in the end by about 8!!!
Our team is just too good...
Also today, I got a new bike!

Ihduhapi
Camp Ihduhapi was fun at some times and err... well yeah you get it... http://www.campihduhapi.org/pages/page_75.htm
"Simulations"
These were "games"... they were intense. We did a simulation of the Underground Railroad. We started out by walking into the woods at night with a group of about 25 people. We had about 3 chaperones. There was somebody waiting for us behind a tree. He told us to keep walking until we met Harriet Tubman. We walked for about a mile on the snow path until we arrived. She told us that this was real, who she was, and what we were going to do. We could hear screams and gunshots in the woods, that's what i mean by intense. During the whole thing they would tell stories like they happened just yesterday, people would chase us with lanterns and fire cap guns into the air. It was scary!
"Rope courses"
These were games that you would do about 35 to 50 feet up in the air. You would put a harness on and climb up whatever you were doing. One of the things was the Pamper Pole. It was a pole that you would climb up and jump off. It was about 28 feet. The rock climbing wall was 50 feet high, and you would, obviously, climb and ring the bell at the top. The High Ropes was an obstacle course 45 feet in the air. This was my favorite. That's all: http://www.campihduhapi.org/pages/page_83.htm the first pic on the right is the High Ropes!
Have a good day! :)

Shakopee Game
I forgot to tell you about the Shakopee game. It will be remembered as the greatest game the Woodbury 6B team played in State Tournament. It goes like this:
It was a sad, mournful day for the team. Down by 9 at the end of the first half. The players walked to the bench with their heads hanging... The coach tried to encourage them but it didn't have much effect. "It's only halftime!" Their heads hung even lower. "Look, it doesn't matter what the score is at the end of the game, it just matters how hard you play." Cheers from the Woodbury fans came loud and clear. They stopped feeling sorry for themselves and went onto the court ready to play. The Woodbury guard went in and made a lay-up. They came back with one right back at us. But then, their star player, Caleb Blodgett shot a three and "SWISH!" Woodbury stole the ball back passed it over to Blodgett and "Swish!" Another one! Shakopee comes in with a lay-up. But they had a advantage, Blodgett! Passed it back and YES it goes in yet again! That was it for Blodgett! The time was running out in the 4th quarter with about 3 minutes left. Nicholas Blonski, the big guy, goes in for a lay-up, gets fouled. Ooohhh... this is not going to go well. One of the worst free-throw shooters on the team. We all turned our heads as the big guy threw his shot up, we heard a "swish!" Of course it must be from the court next to us we thought. But no, it was from the one, the only Nicholas Blonski! He put up another one, "SWISH!" Woodbury was up by two! Cheers and "Whoo-hoo's!" came from the sidelines. Shakopee ran down the court hoping for a basket, they pass it to the big guy. The guy throws up the shot and sure enough it goes in. But that wasn't it for Woodbury, for they still have a few tricks up their sleeves. Coach calls time. He shows them the play on his whiteboard. They go out onto the court with high confidence. Woodbury inbounds the ball with 20 seconds left, they pass it to the guard and he holds the ball until about 10 seconds left. Then he drives around the guy whom is guarding him and goes in for a lay-up while the time runs out! Woodbury wins! What an amazing comeback!
That's the story of the Woodbury B team.
Have a great day! :)
PS notice how I play a key role in the story? =D

Champlin Park
Now, the 6A team for Champlin Park... I'm not even sure all of the players are even in 6th grade... they have a big guy who, I'm not even kidding, 6 FEET, 4 INCHES!!! I even saw him play... its scary...
I'm back!
I finally am going to start frequently writing... We won all of the tourneys from the time I told you about the last tournament to today. As you (at least most of you) already know, we won the State "A" tournament. Yes, we're a "B" team in A level. We won all of our games (5 of them to be exact). My dad is getting a little bit umm... OVER-OBSESSED!!! He's calling everyone of his "basketball buddies" to tell them every moment of every game with a couple extra details added in there. For example, my friend comes over and the first thing my dad says is "Did you hear about the news???" He responds with a "no." My dad: "WE WON THE STATE TOURNAMENT!" You can all probably imagine that...
ugghh... I've got to go work on my book report...
see-ya!
