Went
to a fantastic basketball game last night. We'd all looked forward to this
one - the local derby between Crow Creek and arch rivals from across the
river - Lower Brule which is about 15 miles away. The stadium was packed
with rival supporters on opposite sides of the floor. Most of the time
there was whistling, feet stomping, yelling and general bedlam and
excitement. Crow Creek came from behind and were 3 points up with a second
to play and the unheard of happened. You guessed it - the long bomb 3
pointer to tie the game. They call this one the 'buzzer beater'. We were
all stunned and had to settle in for 4 minutes of extra time. The Crow
Creek mob were still shell shocked at the reversal and lost in the rematch.
But what a top game! Crow Creek was always up against it as three of the
best players were stood down before the game for disciplinary reasons
associated with school I think.
