Oh Vancouver

March Madness is my favorite sporting event to watch annually. However, there is an event that trumps it. It's just that this event happens every two or fours years (depending on your perspective).

The Olympics are still the most captivating sports event out there. Yes, there are politics involved. Yes, there are "sports" in which the outcome is based on judges. Yes, there are more human interest stories broadcast in 16 days than you might see in 9 months of other sports viewing.

And still, the Olympics has always and will probably always have first place in my heart. I look forward to talking about them.

Did you happen to have a chance to see the Durant 7th Grade girls' team this season? If you didn't, you've already missed your chance.
They finished the season tonight with a 29-9 victory over McAlester to take the Durant Tournament Championship. The Lady Lions finished the season with a 13-4 record. The future for this squad looks especially bright.
I was also very proud of my own daughter, who managed to have her best game of the year in the final contest. I got to attend each game this season. It took a sacrifice or two, but being with her during this season was very special and I would do it again.
Go Lady Lions! And watch these kids as they grow!
