Go Eagles

This weekend was the East Regional Homeschool Basketball Tournament for our state.  This was the first year we have had regional tournaments before the state tournament, and it was only for Boys Middle School and Boys Varsity teams, because there were so many of them.  All the JV boys  and all girls teams will go to the state tournament next weekend in Greensboro, but only the top 2 teams from the East and West region in MS Boys and V Boys will go.  Lighthouse "hosted" the East tournament here in Wake Forest, and teams from Raleigh, Durham, Fayetteville, Orange County, and Alamance County came to play. The 2 Lighthouse teams played hard, and I think my son played particularly well in the Varsity games , but they didn't finish in the top two spots so their seasons are over. Fortunately, Eric plays  JV as well, so he will play in the state tournament next weekend anyway, as will Sarah's varsity girls team.  

In addition to Eric's 2 tournament games on Friday night and Saturday morning, Sarah's team played on Friday night in Surry County, 2 ½ hours from here ( I didn't make it to that one).  Amanda had an Upwards basketball game at church on Friday night, and Jason had one on Saturday. So we had 5 games on Friday and Saturday!!   Amanda sprained her ankle in her game, and has been hobbling around on crutches this weekend.

Congratulations to the Raleigh Hawks for their victory in both the Middle school and Varsity divisions.  Kudos to Lea's ( End of the Road ) son, Christopher, who played on both teams and was a Middle School tournament MVP!
