Real Life: Districts Champions!!!!

WE WON!!!

WE WON THE PIAA DISTRICT 111 1 A BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!!!

LINVILLE HILL WARRIORS VS LANCASTER COUNTRY DAY!

Linville Hill Christian School is having one amazing basketball season!!!! We are so proud of these boys and the couches!!! They have worked SO HARD at every single practice and there were lots of sweat and energy poured into each practice! One thing people are noticing about our small school team is their endurance! We have a bench full of really good players but the starting five players are the bulk of the playing time and they are still running, blocking, shooting strong in the fourth quarter!!!! They are tough boys with really good endurance!!!!

Mike and I were so excited to spend the entire day watching and being with the team!

National Anthem and the butterflies were going wild in our stomachs!

LINVILLE HILL WARRIORS VS LANCASTER COUNTRY DAY!!!

The game was at the Giant Center in Hershey and at 12:45 PM. Many took off of work to come watch and cheer and see the team win!!!! School left out on early dismissal at 11:15 so teachers and students could come and watch!!! The stands were full of community people that came out to watch!!!!

I love this picture!!!! Matthew and the guys were so excited after the horn blew and they won the game!!!!!

Every WARRIOR got a metal!

And then a team trophy!!!!!

These boys loved the cotton candy!!!!

After the game, Matthew and Daniel were interviewed! Many of their comments are now in the news and newspaper!

After the game, Ashlyn and Austin went home with Matt and Lena and I just love how they are always welcome to go to their house! It really means a lot of days like this when Mike and I can stick around with the team and not have the littles trudging along all day! Thanks again Lena!!!

And here's a proud moment for Mike and I with Matthew in the wind!!!!

Mike and I are our kids biggest fans when they join any sports team!!! We cheered at many volleyball games for Hadassah and a lot of baseball games for Matthew over the years and there was no way we were going to miss this big basketball game yesterday!!! Our kids needs to know we are their biggest fans and show support! They might not say it to you but they want you there! We LOVE IT!!! Mike really fell in love with the the basketball team this year! Matthew is the caption and we just couldn't be more proud of these boys! Mike often went to their practices! Before Matthew had his license, Mike would leave a little earlier and watch the last practice minutes. Now that Matthew is driving solo, Mike still goes! I think it's awesome of how these two support each other!

The Linville Hill Warriors competed very well all season! They only had two loses!!! They made it to playoffs with a record of wins like this and won! They made it to finals VS Mount Calvary at Lancaster Bible College and game in second place for their league!!! They moved on to Districts and won again!!! This brought them to Districts Finals yesterday at the Giant Center in Hershey, PA!!! Linville Hill was so excited and dismissed the entire school at 11:15 so that whoever wanted to join the game and watch the team play in Hershey, they could!!! We were over the top excited and the boys played great!!! IT WAS ANOTHER WIN!!! Those who came to watch and cheer errupted into a celebration as the team received each a metal and a trophy!!! What an accomplishment!!!!!

These coaches mean so much to the team and really why they got to this win!!!!

SO PROUD OF THESE BOYS!!!

The team went to Applebees for some good food and to watch the team have fun while doing so well is a blessing! They love Coach Schatzmann and all the assistant coaches!!!! Then they all piled into a van and went over to tour Hershey Chocolate World! We ate chocolates while driving to Dunkin to fill up on caffeine and then we all went back to the Giant Stadium to watch the final districts game that others were competing in! (We won in our division! There were girls games and other school competing in other divisions!).
