I sat at my computer desk at 4:30 a.m. in the morning feeling like a baffoon. The highlights crashed and didn't save...So, I sat and re-did them until about 6 a.m. in the morning so be nice little children and watch the highlights...TELL A FRIEND even. And if you have no friends, well, welcome to the club.
ALSO, 6TH GRADE GAME IS AT 6 P.M.!!!

I hurt myself today...
I believe the title of this blogpost contains lyrics from a Johnny Cash song.
I can also guarantee you that 1% of you even know who that is.
So if you graciously visited the blog a few weeks ago or followed along for a few years, you will recall the last time I played a little basketball I got sent to the floor and hurt my ankle. That was three years ago.
You think I would've learned my lesson.
Some of you may also know I've been running in the last year or so. Not just light jogs, but a good three miles minimum on most weeks and I sweat like there is no tomorrow. I would like to think I am in decent shape, but that's relatively speaking.
So Sunday at NDV, one of the girls said we should scrimmage and it would've been an even 4-on-4. And for those of you who have played for me know that rarely do I ever get involved with the action -- I just like to stand back and bark.
But I said let's give it a go. So I took two of the 6th grade girls and one of the 7th grade twins on my team to play against the other four 7th and 8th grade girls.
My team got spanked.
I think we lost 30-14 or something like that.
I tried pretty hard, especially on defense. I took no mercy on them and blocked several shots.
Late in the game, I went all out and jumped long and hard towards a ball Kelly was shooting.
So I got a piece of the ball and sent it flying, but because I went "HAM" I also landed awkwardly on the side of my ankle, the same one I rolled a few years back.
Call me Stephen Curry. Yes, I just compared myself to Steph Curry.
In all likelihood, my sesamoid bone gave out again, and this time I felt my knee buckle a little bit. I hit the ground hard and so did everybody else, except they were literally ROFL while I was down and out and in pain.
I sat there on the gym floor for about five minutes, hoping the pain would go away as sweat came pouring down my face. I managed to play a little bit more after but I was far from my 100% the rest of the way.
So at age 62, I feel extremely old and sad that my body can't even hold up against fragile little 7th and 8th graders in a pick up game.
However, hopefully all will heal and I'll have a blockbuster announcement coming in the next week.

Great win by 7th grade to wrap up regular season
The 7th grade got revenge for one of their two losses this season with a resounding 44-32 victory.
Jason Lei had a game high 19 points, while Jonathan hit two 3 pointers for 16 points.
Leslie praised Jason Hou and his play, as he scored a season high of 5 points, while Michael hit a three for his only bucket.
Justin added a free throw.
They wrap up the season (6-2) as they await their playoff opponent which has yet to be determined.

8th graders see careers come to an end
The slim playoff hope for the 8th grade boys were dashed Saturday afternoon, as they lost their final game of the regular season 37-30.
Again, the class of 2014 played a pretty good game, putting up a good fight against a team that had lost only once during the regular season.
But there were so many turnovers which led to easy baskets by the other team and the hole was too much for them to climb out of to pull of the upset.
Little basic things like boxing out on a free throw, making lay-ups or challenging a shot were lacking and it cost them in the end. Had they won, they would've been able to force a tie-breaker game which would've taken place either Monday or Tuesday.
Unfortunately, they wrap up their last season at St. Mary's with a (3-5) record and fail to make the playoffs for the first time in three years.
Overall, it wasn't too shabby. This team had its flaws but were able to walk away from their basketball careers at St. Mary's with a championship, two title game appearances and three playoff berths. They were also the first basketball team at the school to win a CYO preseason tournament.

5th grade boys prep for playoffs with a win
The 5th grade boys finished the season with a 12-7 win Saturday morning, as they'll take a (6-2) record into the post-season.
Keith hit a shot for the first time in his young career, which gave the boys some energy for the rest of the game.
They had to do it without Calvin who left the game in the 2nd quarter with an upper body injury. He did not return to the game but was able to practice Sunday and should be fine for the playoffs.
At (6-2), the 5th graders hold the number two seed in the division and will play St. Brendan, a team that beat them during the season.

6th graders flat in finale
It was not a good way to go into the playoffs for the 6th grade boys.
They played arguably their worst game of the season and lost 20-3 Saturday morning.
From beginning to end the boys were flat and the cliche thing to say would be they were half asleep and never woke up for the 10 a.m. tip.
Amarit hit the only field goal of the game and Eric a free throw to account for the scoring.
Even with a (3-5) record, they will be playoff bound and will face a challenge no matter who they face in the playoffs. They are a combined (0-4) against the top two teams in the division and will need to upset one of them to advance to the finals.
Bill was held scoreless.
