It was a packed house tonight at Kennedy for the big showdown between Kennedy and LinnMar. I haven't been to a game, all year, but thought I would come out for this one. Nothing like sitting in a gym full of 2100 fans.
Students from Kennedy and LinnMar teamed up and created the coolest "Cat Fight" t-shirts, to raise money for Theater Cedar Rapids, which was devastated by the floods of 2008. You can kind of see them in this photo. The back had a claw print that looked like a scratch. The front had a Lions head and a Cougar head. Between the 2 school they sold 1020 shirts with Kennedy selling the most.
A little game of "I spy" because I spied Gary Criddle sitting across the way. It almost looks like he is posing for me. 
I spy little Ms. Allie, my sidekick at Kennedy!!
I spy Landon, with the glasses and Connor with the headband. 
I spy Luke and all of his buddies.
I have to admit that I left after the 3rd quarter because it was a blowout. LinnMar could not miss a shot. I bet their shooting percentage was above 70%. Kennedy couldn't do anything right tonight.
I did enjoy the games but I also loved people watching. High Schoolers just amaze me at how they dress. I also feel for the Basketball players because this is their first loss. I think it is a great time for it because Regionals and State are right around the corner. I know they can rebound from this loss and come back and be a stronger team.
GO COUGARS!!

I miss high school basketball games - and watching Jake play. Enjoy these next few years - they will fly by.
