We spent the first weekend in March in Boise for the State Boys Basketball Tournament. Poky's team ended up winning the District Championship and earned their spot in the braket. Thursday night we played Hillcrest and won by three points. Friday we played Sandpoint and won by eight. Saturday we were in the championship game and were to play the undefeated team of Skyview from Nampa. I told everyone that the game would be a complete blowout or a really good game. It ended up being a very, very good game and unfortunately ended in a total heartbreak for the boys and the Poky fans. We hit a buzzer beater and ended up in overtime! Then we lost by one at the very end 59-58. It was a great game and the boys played their hearts out! So exciting! We have never gone to the tournament before and it was so much fun! We took our nephew Devin with us and the Rhoades family came for Friday and Saturday's games! What a lot of energy during the whole three days! Here are some pictures from the championship game at the Idaho Center in Nampa.
This one is of the boys warming up before the BIG game! There sure were a lot of people there...including the whole town of Nampa!

The team and the trophey....they are trying to smile among all the tears. They were so much fun to watch! Great Job to the Poky Indians!!
