At the beginning of the award ceremony, after all the sockeye games, Dillingham showed appreciation of St. Paul. They said how good we were and how hard it is to travel for basketball games. They were amazed at how good we were for not playing any games before the Sockeye Tournament. They wanted to thank us for coming to their tournament and invited us to play there next year also.
I am happy that they invited us to go to their tournament again next year, but there isn't going to be a team next year. It is very sad that we won't have a high school team next year. We aren't able to have a team next year because 4 of the 6 players are graduating. Another player is going to school at a different place. There isn't that much people in our high school that likes to play basketball, and the ones that do are too young.
I can't wait until there is enough high school basketball players to have a team. I don't think that will be for a long time though. I love playing for the St. Paul Sea Parrots! I am proud to have played here my whole high school career. It was so fun and I made a lot of fun memories playing here.
It felt awesome when they noticed us right in the beginning of the ceremony! It was awesome because we have not played against high schoolers all year and we showed them how it was done! I was also happy that they invited us to the tournament because we do not get as much games in as the other teams in our region get. We were so lucky to get games out there in Dillingham and here in Saint Paul. Good Post!
ReplyDeleteit is great to know that they want us to come back there is a possibility that we will have a team to play next year because the four players that are in 7th grade right now will be in 8th and will be eligible to travel with us but the sad part about that is coach said it probably wont be a traveling team it would be awesome to be able to go Dillingham it was fun while we were there.
