WE ARE EXCITED!!!! We are very excited to ride along with the boys and girls basketball teams back to the Giant Center for States Final!!! This is it!!! This is what every team works so hard to get too! Our school has never been this far before with the basketball team and we get to go with the BOYS AND GILRS TEAM!!!! Both have made it to the final round! We are so proud of them!!!!!
The newspaper has them on the front page! The bus is loaded with much talent and we arrived at the Giant Center parking lot with a tailgate party rocking!!!! Parents brought Blackstone grills and cooked up eggs, sausages, sausage gravy! There was fruit and donuts and juice! Everything was done so well and we were honored to be a part of it all! Thank you to all those who worked hard to make food, make the signs and bring the music!!!!!
The parking lot in this area with full of Linville kids, families and parents making breakfast foods! Bean bag toss was happening while the music got us rallied up!
Entering here never gets old!!!!! It's a rush and we cannot wait to cheer our hearts out!
It's so fun having our kids experience these big events with us!!!! Austin and his friends made it to the big screen and I spied Matthew and his basketball friends watching in the stands! These boys were the first to get Linville to the Giant Stadium and to watch this team make it to the states was not a game they would miss!!!!
The girls played first! They worked hard, we cheered loud and they came home with the silver trophies around their necks.
And then it was the boys turn to play!!!! The arena was loud! So many people came out for this big game!!!! Linville Hill Christian VS Sewickly Academy - PIAA Class 2A boys basketball championship!!!!
This was a close game! It came down to the last two seconds and we were up by only 1 point. Sewickly had the ball and they went for a shot and did not make the basket. WE WON!!!! BY ONE POINT!!!! 55-54!!!! Winning by one point felt amazing. Loosing by one point must have felt awful!
We screamed and cheered and watched the boys receive gold around their necks as they are now the new STATE CHAMPIONS!!!!!
After the game, the Giant Center was hot pressing shirts with the winner on teeshirts! The winner is Linville Hill!!!!!
SO VERY PROUD OF THEM!!!!
We really have no idea how much sweat and tears and effort that every single player puts into a basketball season. The practices are hard and only the strong at heart can handle it! It's what builds our boys in endurance and strength and even when they get tired, they never stop working hard until the final buzzer goes off!!!!! Everyone matters!!!!! I love how coach said that even if you didn't get to play on the big court this day, you matter! It's the entire team that makes each other better at practices and on game days!
THE LINVILLE HILL WARRIORS ARE STATE CHAMPIONS!!!!
