March Madness

At our home, it’s been a little bit different kind of March Madness.  I know you’re thinking NCAA and NIT.  But I’m going to talk about the CLS. Yes, CLS = Cruze/Langford/Sexton.  During the month of March Russ and I found ourselves attending a bunch, a bunch of grandchildren basketball games.  Josh Cruze played in the Westside Y league---first year. Tanner Sexton played on the LDS team in the intra-church league, along with Carter and Jared Langford.  Then Sydney played in the Presbyterian basketball league.  Jared and Carter also played on a second team(s) in the Presbyterian league. And finally Allie played on the LDS team in the intra-church league.  Whew!  That’s a lot of games each week.  We could possibly go to a game on Tuesday night, Thursday night, and three games on Saturday.  Russ had some conflicts, but I would go without him, as this is my favorite sport to watch the grandchildren play. They all did great with Allie’s team winning the tournament, and the other teams doing almost as well in their league play.  Those games have come to an end, but it’s been a fun ride.  I wish I had taken more pictures, but I do have one of the oldest grandchild and youngest grandchild playing here in Knoxville.

Now, in honor of our grandchildren’s stellar basketball season, I’m having a giveaway.  Do kids like anything better than pizza?  The winner of this giveaway will receive a gift certificate to Papa John’s Pizza.  However, if you win and don’t have a Papa John’s, then I’ll substitute a Domino’s, etc.— something equivalent. 

This contest ends on March 30, Friday, at 11 p.m. Eastern Time -- before the Final Four starts.  Leave a comment telling me who you think will win the NCAA. BTW, all children who played on a basketball team this winter are welcome to enter, too.
