Basketball Tournament First Round


Today began the first round of Kei's final basketball tournament as a Junior High Student. We were the host school for today's games and both our girls and boys teams go on to next weeks' games. This is a single elimination tournament so the stakes are high. After this tournament, the ninth graders "retire" in order to concentrate on studying for upcoming entrance examinations for Senior High School. Todays games were easy draws and both teams won by a large margin. The girls' score was 90 to 20 and the boys' score was 116 to 27. Ninth graders were the main players although the 8th grade teams got to play for a few minutes during the last halves. Seventh graders (and anyone else not on the court) cheered and iced and fanned the players during time outs. Kie was the stat person for the girls' game which she enjoys. She also likes to cheer. I like cheering too and it is especially fun when they are playing well, having fun, and winning!!


What do the moms do besides cheering, you ask? They make lots of rice balls for the coaches and referees!!!
