Recovery Wednesday!

Wow!  What an amazing day of basketball yesterday was!

First, the SDSU Women's Basketball team wins it's fourth straight Summit League Championship in Overtime yesterday afternoon.

Second, a great win by the Chamberlian Cubs to secure a place in the State A tournament in Sioux Falls next week.  Awesome job by all the players and the coaches.

Finally, the SDSU Men's Basketball team wins it's first ever Summit League Championship, and secured a place in the NCAA tournament.  The Big Dance!  When you go to fill out your bracket this year, South Dakota State is going to be on it!  And yes, it was in overtime, too.

I was joking with some coworkers that I probably lost two years off my life yesterday. 

Go Cubs!

Go Jacks!

Friday, Lesson, Weekend

Welcome to a cold January Friday!

Lesson plans for next week are posted.

Congratulations to the Cubs Boys Basketball Team for their win over Todd County last night.

Also, congrats to the SDSU Jackrabbits for their big win over the USD Coyotes last night.

Full weekend of events coming up... CHS Wrestlers, Gymnasts, Boys Basketball and Girls Basketball are all in action this Saturday.  Best wishes to all the Cubs teams!

Also, a good luck shout out to the Cubs JH Boys Basketball team as they travel to Winner to play in the Winner Tournament.

Saturday is a big Basketball day in our house, as not only do both kids team's play, but also the UNC Tar Heels, The SDSU jacks mens and womens teams, and the LA Lakers all play!

This weekend will also be the NFL Divisional Round of the playoffs.

Sunday I have my first 10 mile run scheduled for the new year.  Could be tough.  I've only gone 8 miles once, so I may be dragging a little.

For the weekend video, my younger boys have had me listening to "The Rocky Story" CD in the van the last few days, so I've got Rocky tunes on the brain.

Enjoy Robert Tepper's "No Easy Way Out"

Friday, January 6th

Today in MS/JH PE class we will be having an "ICU Day".  Which means that we will have some sort of fun PE game or activity for all students who are caught up on their work.

Students who are not caught up on their work, or are on "the list" will have study hall and be forced to work on any and all missing work.

High School Personal fitness class will be playing a game today, but it depends on the weather as to what that is.  I'd planned on doing "fitness relays" in the wrestling room, but it is so nice outside lately, that we may scrap that plan and do something to take advantage of the beautiful weather.  It's not often you can have outdoor PE in January.

Congrats to the Lady Cubs for their victory over Crow Creek last night.  The win moves the Lady Cubs to 6-1 on the season. 

Good Luck to both the Lady Cubs, and the Cubs Boys Basketball team as they travel to Cheyenne-Eagle Butte for a double header game tomorrow.

Lesson Plans for next week are completed and posted.

This Weekend the South Dakota State Jackrabbits Men and Women's Basketball teams will travel to Tulsa, Oklahoma to take on Oral Roberts University.  Oral Roberts was the preseason favorite to win the conference in both divisions.  At this point in the season the Men are tied with SDSU with a perfect 5-0 conference record, and the SDSU women are actually a game ahead of the ORU women.

Go Big.  Go Blue.  Go Jacks.

Also, this weekend marks the Wild card round of the NFL playoffs.  For the second straight year, my San Diego Chargers have missed the playoffs.  So while that is disappointing, it allows me to watch the games and just enjoy them with no real emotional attachments to any teams.  Sometimes, as a fan of a sport I think that is almost better.

Today's music video is from:  The Twilight Singers.  First time I heard this band was last summer, and I was up later than normal and caught their performance on David Letterman.  Excellent Song.
(And no, they have nothing to do with the Twilight movies)

Enjoy.... "On The Corner"
