Yeah, you know it

Ok, so my high school team (the Republic Tigers in good 'ol Washington state) is known for their basketball prowess. We won state in '97 (My frosh year of high school), then in '04, took fifth last year (we had a bad game that knocked us out of title contention) and tomorrow night we're playing for the state championship again.

Our nearby archrival (yet closest friend so long as we aren't playing each other), Curlew, is playing for the title tomorrow night on the ladies' side. Great stuff.

That said... I just checked up on the Spokesman-Review blog (the local Spokane paper where the State B tourney is held) and guess who was watching our boys play? Derek Raivio and David Pendergraft of Gonzaga. AHHHH!! That's so cool. I've been to state three years in a row, and fairly consistently before that (six of the last nine years) and the ONE year that I can't be there GU players show up? But they were definitely there watching us, sitting on our sidelines.

We rock.

Oh, and check it out at this addy:

If it's hard to find just search for "Raivio". For more on our team, search for Republic. We're all over the pages.
