March 14th, 2012 - Jared's last playoff basketball game

What an awesome game! Game started out with Jared getting the jump ball.

We were keeping pace with the other team but we were always a couple of points behind.

It was almost the end of the 3rd quarter and Jared found an opportunity turn the game around.

He caused a possession change which lead to one of his teammates making a bucket, which caused the game to be tied up. Go Jared!

In the end we were up 23-20 with 30 seconds to go.

They made a shot with 10 seconds to go putting the score at 23-22. 

2 seconds to go they have the ball we are holding our breaths, time runs out, we win!

Go Boilers!!!!

On to the championship game we go!

March 10th, 2012 - Jared's 2nd ound of playoffs for Basketball

Today Jared played against the 'Hoosiers' who beat us the first time we played them. For the first half they dominated, beating us 24-16 at half-time.

The second half Jared was a beast on the court getting rebounds, blocking out, taking a few shots stealing the ball and just playing some good basketball. The rest of Jared's team seemed to get a boost too, actually making baskets most of the time when a shot was taken. By the end of regular play we were tied 27-27.

So on to overtime. we had 3 minutes to win the game, or lose it (lol). We got a couple of 2 pointers and we fouled the other team a couple of times giving them chance to catch up. Fortunately for us they missed a free throw shot making the score 31-30. 5 seconds to go they have the ball, they take a shot, we all hold our breaths..........they missed the shot putting us in the final four!

Yay - Go Boilers!

March 7th, 2012 - Jared's 1st Basketball Playoff Game

Jared played his first playoff game tonight against the Red Hawks. In the first quarter we were ahead by 6. Second quarter we were ahead by 2. Third quarter we were ahead by 10. Fourth quarter, oh my gosh, the other team caught up to us and tied us until the last 30 seconds when we pulled ahead by 2. The last 30 seconds took forever to play with all the time-outs and fouls, but the game changed when Jared intercepted the ball. We ended up winning 26-24. So we live to see another basketball game.

Jared getting the better side of the tip off.
