This is the article from last night about the game we won tonight http://varsity.orlandosentinel.com/sports/basketball/os-hs-montverde-basketball-0130-20100129,0,1334812.story

Most of you know that I work at a college prep boarding school. Well our school is really good at basketball. A lot of our boys basketball team come here specifically to play basketball. Our team actually played a game on ESPN over Christmas, which was fun to watch.

Well every year we host a tournament called MAIT (Montverde Academy Invitational Tournament). Teams from all over come and play at it and scouts are often in attendance.

It is a 3 round tournament with 8 teams. We won our first two and then played in the championship tonight against the #2 ranked team in the nation. (Findlay (http://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/73NS1_IyqkWD15BqtiDCTg/findlay-prep-pilot/basketball/home.htm)- from NV) We won!! It was a really exciting game and the final score was 54-51 so it was a close game and was really exciting the whole game. We actually had court side seats because we are house parents - which was really great because it ended up being standing room only, and even with that they had to stop letting people in.

Thanks for letting me ramble, I'm pretty excited :)
