swim banquet and buzzer beater

Last night, our family went to the RFHS swim banquet. Anders was presented with another varsity letter, received a state participant and qualifier certificate and had two nice speeches delivered by his swim coach and his dive coach. His dive coach thanked Brad and I for raising a child who was accustomed to sarcasm.

After the banquet, Osten and I went to the final RF Boys Basketball game of the season. The pep band was HOT! Several of the swimmers went to play--Anders opted to stay home so he missed out on that opportunity.

The Wildcats were ahead most of the game then the Chippewa Falls cardinals came back with some hot three point shooters. With just a few seconds left in the game, the Cats made a drive as they were down by one point. Mike Johnson was dished the ball with just one second remaining and he made the buzzer beater. I happened to be sitting near his mom and my friend, Michelle when he made the hoop, so I went over to hug and dance around with our friend Sharyl. What a night!

Here is a photo I got of the pep band--just happens to be Nate from above and his sister, Jenna playing pep band together. They are both Anders and Katie's ages:
