My Rambling Mind

Ahhh yes, once again, the devastatingly sick feeling of loss. Black River played VASJ last night for the regional playoff title. We lost 14-24. The football players cried. The band cried. The cheerleaders cried. The fans cried. We wanted this game so badly. We've never gotten past the regional championship game in school history and this was the year we had a chance. Now, we'll never have this chance again. Yes, we still have a great squad of guys and we'll be keeping a good number of them . . . but we've lost 15 seniors---the heart of our team. We're keeping great guys like Brad, Jared, and Charlie . . . but next year they'll be seniors. And out of our whole offensive attack, we're keeping 2 of them (Brad and Jared). Out of that, we're keeping about half of our defensive attack . . . but we'll never be the same. After we lost, there was a distinct hush over the crowd . . . the community was quiet and cold, feeling the loss as much as our seniors felt it. In the paper, there were pictures of us . . . one of Brad with his head in his hands, probably crying. One of a senior cheerleader, Mandi, with her hands covering her eyes, unable to watch us lose. And the band . . . we cheer our little brains out! Becky was on the verge of tears was we left the stadium. Brigette and Kim broke down in tears at the sight of our boys, crying and devastated, exited the stadium into the locker room. Jamie and Shayla were crying for their boys; Jamie for Brad and Shayla for Don. We went to the bus in agony, ready to go home. Our boys made a great run of it but there was still a feeling of wanting more.

After a good cry and talk of needing to be sad for awhile, Siwicki decided that we were not going to be sad and that he refused to do so. Well, he was infectious and soon we were all (kim, me, and siwicki) laughing and planning things to do when I got my driver's liscence. LOL . . . we decided that Kim and I would go pick up Siwicki for his birthday and we'd go out somewhere . . . that would be lots of fun. And we decided that we feel bad for Kim because she doesn't get her TEMPS until Feb. 9th. LOL! Well . . . I need to work on my French project . . .  so I'm going to go do that---just figured I'd inform the world of our devastating loss on Saturday.
