Tyler Wipf had to fill in as point guard this evening, and helped lead Martin Group to a 55-46 win over Diamond Farms. The win for Marin Group snaps a 5 game losing streak (even though it felt like a 20 game losing streak) and give them their first win in 2009. Wipf finished with 9 points, 2-4 from the free throw line, dished out 4 assists, had 2 steals, and did not turn the ball over. Martin Group now moves to 3-7 on the year, and sits in 5th place in the standings (out of 6 teams) Diamond Farms falls to 7-3, and is still in second. MG will return to the floor next Monday night at 7:30p, in the Randalls Gym.
That is the write up that you might find in your local paper coming up tomorrow. Actually, I think it might have been too late for deadline, so it might not make it, but hey, finally a win! And one of those shots I put in tonight, a beautiful high arking teardrop that didn't touch anything on the way through. I had to get it up there high because of the 6'6" guy coming at me. Got it over him, and straight back down, nothin' but net! That's when we knew our night was going well. Speaking of basketball, I was just glad to feel good enough to play. On Thursday night, there was a celebration at the "Thompson Shed" for a couple of our pastors, who had their birthday's on the same day. There was a big basketball night. Now, several people in the Huron area have seen the Kleinsasser Barn, which has the small court upstairs in the hay loft. This court, however is a bit different. It is a full length college floor, with a nice clearance on the ceiling, and two baskets that are nicer then some smaller high school's baskets. I know the floor is a full length college floor, because it's the old floor right out of the Corn Palace. The old removable tiles, remember those, with some dead spots here and there? I sure do. You had to remember to dribble on the seems to keep the ball coming back up properly. Well, I went to this party, and wanted to play, but had a slight strain to my shoulder, so decided to sit out the evening. I just watched, and met some new people at the event, which was still a good time. Now, more about this shed. It had a fairly nice boat parked in there, and, a few cars in the back that I didn't get close enough to see. One was a Ferrari of some kind, and I was told there was a '55 or a 57' thunderbird back there, and the one that I wanted to take home with me (yes, more than the Ferrari) was a 1963 Corvette, with the split back window. Ohhh, how awesome would that be. Completely restored by the owner of this "Shed" Ohh, and it has a 2 bedroom apartment attached to it also, which is nicer than any place I've ever lived since I've been on my own. Must be nice....
