ECCHS vs Hart County Basketball




These are pictures from the Hart County game. It was so close and we ended up winning by a couple of points in overtime to win region! The team is doing so well, they are 20-4 and have won the last 14 games in a row! They are ranked top 10 in the state and have region playoffs starting tomorrow. If they win on Tuesday then they go to state for sure, and they are playing the last place team in the region, so they probably will:) There is one really good kid on the team named Rod Rucker and he scored 38 points in this Hart County game and got 18 rebounds, I think he leads the state in rebounds as well. Jeff says he is getting looked at from some major D1 programs. He and a couple of other guys are also really good at dunking so that makes it more fun for me to watch. Anyway, Jeff is having so much fun coaching them and he is learning a lot from the head coach Larry Brown. He played at Georgia and also played in the Super Bowl for the Tennessee Titans several years ago. He has been a great mentor for Jeff. I am so excited to watch the rest of their games and hopefully they will win state!!!

Jeff looks so professional! So yet again we were thinking of you guys as we were watching the Huskies play crappy last night against UCLA. WE MISS YOU! Stacey, I love your hair. It is so beautiful. Cheyenne is so cute, and getting so big. It's really sad that they don't stay small for long! We love you guys!
