Weekend update

The playoff run of the WC Lady Cards came to a screeching halt Saturday afternoon at the hands of the Bolivar Lady Liberators. The Lady Cards played pretty well for 3 quarters - even taking the lead shortly after halftime - but ultimately didn't have enough firepower to take down the more mature Liberators (what the heck kind of mascot is that?). The Lady Cards will return everyone next season and should be a serious contender in Class 4. They certainly should be proud of what they achieved, they weren't picked to do anything and they did a lot.

The WC guys on the other hand rolled on into the Class 4 semi-finals (to be held in Columbia on Friday the 7th at 2:00pm). To be honest, they didn't play very well, but had enough to put Clinton away in the 4th quarter. In truth, Clinton is a team they should have beaten by 20 or more - certainly had they played as well on Saturday as they did Wednesday night against Branson it would not have been close at all. I don't want to give a negative review of their performance, but will leave it at this: they need to bring a better effort (particularly on defense) on Friday than they did this weekend.

For the first time in several months the weather early this morning was such that I was able to run outside before church. The wind was rough, I mean rough. It was one of those mornings I was glad that my wife didn't get up to run. She'd have been irritated about the wind by the time she got home. I was just glad I was running south first (into the wind) rather than having to face it on the return.

That's all I got for today. Nothing of particular value, just some observations from the weekend.
