4th grade pulls it out...8th grade outmatched
The 4th grade is giving the 6th grade team a run for its money for scariest games to watch.
The 4th grade barely hung on to win 11-10, when Daniel hit a free-throw half-way through the 4th quarter to give St. Mary's the one point lead. They had numerous chances to put the game away, but they were unable to make their lay-ups.
They almost gave the game away at the end in 6th grade fashion, by throwing the ball to the other team right underneath the basket. They failed to make the lay-up, and Justin dribbled the ball out to run out the remaining seconds. They are (3-4) with one game left tomorrow night and still mathematically have a shot at the playoffs. They will need some help on the way though.
8th Grade Outmatched
Sometimes you lose and you just need to accept it. This was one of those games for the 8th graders.
The other team, who had three losses coming into this game, looked nothing like a three loss team. The team they played looked like an undefeated team, as they were stronger, faster, quicker...everything better than our 8th graders tonight.
Our 8th graders didn't play their best but they weren't terrible. They were simply outmatched. There's something strange when a team that has lost once gets thrashed by a team with three losses. It just doesn't happen too often.
The only way they could've won this game was to probably make all their shots, and that just doesn't happen ever.
If this game recap doesn't make sense, my apologies. I am still having trouble figuring out what happened.
Friday Night Games
Both the 4th and 6th grade play at CYO Serramonte tomorrow night. 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. starts so try to catch both games.
CYO Serramonte is located at 699 Serramonte Del Ray Blvd.

J-Rich and Matt Barnes Return Tonight, Games Tomorrow Night, Birthday!
Courtesy: Janny Hu for the San Francisco Chronicle
It was Super Bowl Sunday, about four hours before kickoff, and all was not well in the Cardinals' hometown. While the city's football team was about to air-it-out on the sport's grandest stage, its once-envied basketball team was airing out grievances in the locker room.
The Suns had lost seven of their last 10 games, their latest at home to the bumbling Bulls. A lengthy clear-the-air meeting and video session was now taking place, just hours after Steve Nash and Grant Hill huddled with team officials following their Chicago debacle.
Out came Jason Richardson, walking down the hallway behind Shaquille O'Neal. Out came Matt Barnes, whizzing by on a unicycle.
The ex-Warriors thought it would be paradise in the Valley of the Sun.
Turns out their new team is struggling much like their old team.
"I was thinking about that the other day," Richardson said. "When we used to play them with the Warriors, it was a free-for-all offensive battle, first to 140 points, pretty much. Now? It's a little different."
Now, when Richardson and Barnes return to Oracle Arena tonight, they'll serve as dual reminders of how quickly both Golden State and Phoenix have fallen from their heyday.
The Warriors are 15-34, a year after winning 48 games and two years removed from "We Believe."
The Suns are 26-20, a year after winning 55 games and three years removed from the conference finals.
Neither looks remotely like its run-and-gun predecessor. Neither has fit its new pieces together.
Asked about Golden State's descent, Richardson only can shake his head.
"It's crazy what's going on, stuff with the front office and with Monta (Ellis') situation," he says. "It's like, man, what happened? Just two years ago we were up and climbing, and now they're starting from the bottom again.
"I can just imagine what the fans are going through, going from bottom of the cellar for 10 years to finally making the playoffs and having a really good year last year."
For Richardson, it's a sympathetic trip down memory lane. After spending his first six seasons with the Warriors, finally making the playoffs in his last, he's on his third team in less than three years.
He was traded to Charlotte for Brandan Wright on draft night in 2007, then traded to Phoenix on Dec. 10 for Raja Bell and Boris Diaw.
Barnes, who had signed with the Suns as a free agent, was among the first to text Richardson and welcome him to Phoenix.
Their reunion, though, has had its bumps.
Barnes, who celebrated the birth of twin boys in November, has had his minutes and effectiveness diminish after beginning the season as the Suns' starting small forward.
Richardson was cited on suspicion of DUI two weeks after his arrival, and his three-point percentage, once tops in the league, has dipped to 38.9 with the Suns.
Despite fielding two future Hall of Famers in Nash and O'Neal, Phoenix is only six games over .500.
"We're struggling right now," Richardson says. "We're having some hard times, but we have a great team. We're just trying to find our stride right now. Once we get started, we'll be pretty good."
And no matter what, they'll always have "We Believe."
"That was history," Barnes said. "Everyone says your team is your family, but at Golden State, that was really the truth. We all loved each other, and it was hard because they broke it up so fast."
"We both talk about it like, 'What if they just had that whole team for a whole other year?' " Richardson added.
"I mean, we know the money situation with Monta and with Baron (Davis), but if they could have just put it aside to give our team one more chance, if we would have had a whole season with everybody healthy, playing together the way we played, it would have been amazing to see the things we would've done."

Super Bowl Fallout
Happy Monday folks...
After watching the Super Bowl and reading a little bit about it today, one thing stuck out more than anything else. It had nothing to do with the game, but to do with Jennifer Hudson lip-synching the national anthem.
"That's the right way to do it," said Ricky Minor, who also produced Whitney Houston's powerful 1991 rendition of the anthem. "There's too many variables to go live. I would never recommend any artist go live, because the slightest glitch would devastate the performance."
I don't care.
I hate it when people fake things. Picture this. At Awards night this year, I will record my voice and then pretend to talk on stage, because something could go wrong...
Pathetic. I am so sick and tired of people who lip-synch. Hannah Montana does it all the time and so does Hilary Duff. It's terrible. If you really suck and can't sing live, don't be a singer. That's all I have to say. I just wish Jennifer Hudson could've told them she can do it, and she can sing live. Instead, we just watched another faked and staged performance.
Tomorrow I'll have a bunch of new things I am working on for the rest of the school year. Coming to a classroom near you.

3 Stars of the Weekend and Happy Birthdays
It was a great Super Bowl, so we should be thankful for that. I didn't want either team to win, but someone had to. I would've preferred Arizona, but what can you do? Hope you got a chance to see it.
3 Stars of the Weekend
3rd Star *** - Elliot
This year, I have personally given Elliot a hard time, in a joking way, of course, that he was not a big factor in games. Elliot is as talented as any of the players we have, but something doesn't translate to game time. He had 3 points Saturday, but an impressive three. He drove to the basket, something he hasn't done much all season and hit 1-of-2 free throws.
2nd Star ** - Daniel
Daniel scored 9 points in the blow-out victory. The youngest brother in the family looks to be an up and coming player for years to come.
1st Star * - Justin
Justin scored a career-high 12 points in the 36-4 blowout victory. Justin is one of the best shooters we have in the younger grades and he displayed it yesterday in the win.
Cameron House Practice This Week
Cameron House schedule for this week is in a previous post from last week. If your coaches didn't let you know, it's on this blog.
And on Super Bowl Sunday, we wish a Happy Birthday to a boy, now man, I used to call Rodrigo. I took care of this little guy when he was a kid in S.M.I.L.E. and now he's 27 years old...(sarcasm)
