3/7 Saturday
There's something about March that I love - basketball tournaments! While I'm not an overly huge basketball fan, there is something about the excitement of tournament time that draws me in and I'm hooked - high school or college - I'm glued to the sports page, TV or internet - trying to find the latest score, update or live stream.
Today was the finals for the girls state basketball tournament and Waukee girls were playing. The game was against cross-town rival WDM Valley and we knew that it would be a tough game, but the girls played strong and we won our first state championship!
As I was sitting in the stands for this game and the quarterfinals earlier in the week - I was looking around at the sea of purple and white (Waukee side) and even the opponent crowd and what I realized was how blessed we are to be in an area where crowds of people come out for the games and support the players. Now, I get that we are located less than 30 minutes from the arena where the games are played, but in an area of nearly half a million - there's lots of other things to do on a Saturday night - and the games are televised and live streamed, but the crowds still came. And to me, that says a lot.
We are a supportive community. This is Iowa…and we're about community.
Today I wish you the support of your community, whatever that looks like for you - family, neighborhood, job, church, school, city, county or state.
