Yesterday, we had a pep fest for the boys' swim team headed to state and the wrestling team as well. Our knowledge bowl team is totally dominating (just watch them on 'the playoffs' on the upcoming High School Challenge).
Now it's the boys' hockey team's turn. They face Warroad (what's new?) for the right to go to state Thursday night in EGF.
We get no time off for the swim team or wrestlers, but if the hockey team earns a trip to state, we will likely get at least one day off from school.
At least that's how it was handled four or five years ago when the hockey team last went to state. I stayed home and watched the games.
Well, I watched one period. I'm a football guy, so I'm used to two quarters, half-time, and then the final two quarters. This three period thing screwed me up. So after the first period I switched to a Discovery Channel episode on what would happen if a hurricane blew up the east coast and slammed in to New York. That show was so damn interesting that by the time I realized I should be back watching the hockey game, I switched just in time to see our former goalie choke and let in a game winner with only a few seconds left.
Maybe it will go better this time. Maybe I'll drift off and watch Life After People or Ax Men and the team will win.
