Chaminade Bball!

So let me see if I can keep this all straight and least confusing.... Towards the end of Chaminade's basketball season their last TWO games on the schedule they played DIXIE then BYUH at home. Both games were great games of course- intense, stressful etc. Ha! Dixie beat us by two points! Ergh! Coach Mahar was pretty upset! He did what he could to stick up for his boys and feeling like they got some unfair reffing..They definitely did. Coach had a few words with every person he could the AD, head Official etc. it really is pathetic how differnt the reffing is out here compared to Utah these refs have no idea what they are doing, never have played competitive ball themselves and are just not consistent. They even flew in refs from the mainland for these last few games to get some refs on the court that knew what they were doing. Then a few nights later we played BYU(hawaii) and won that game which was AWESOME- It felt so good! It was Senior night so it was needed and the boys played hard and definitely deserved the win! Chaminade won their conference!!! So the The team went to Regional's in Washington State and got lined up to play Dixie on the bracket. Chandler got his cast off his leg the day before the team flew out. His coach bought Chan a ticket to come along with the team! Chan was pretty excited to finally go on road(flight) trip with the team because you cant fly with a cast so after three months of calf atrophy he managed to go! So Off they went to Washington. Here I am left all alone last min... it was all good. So They get up there and they played Dixie again and just didn't quite pull it off. The boys were back on the plane a few days later. Its too dang bad because Chaminade was such a great team this year and they went to regional's and so did Dixie and BYUH and now BYUH is down to the elite 8 going to Nationals in Massachusetts. Chaminade beat them three times this season but oh well they are off! good for them! ;) I can't believe how fast another basketball season flew by out here in Hawaii. its too dang better Chandler couldn't be on the court helping out and fully being apart of all the excitement. We are still hoping his foot will heal up and he can get his medical Red-shirt and play another year. We are being hopeful things will work out in our favor. Chan will find out more this week after he gets a CT scan and an MRI. Im still trying to get used to it again to have a hubby off of crutches, off of his little chair he would wheel around on in the house, no hoping around, no more handicapped parking...well maybe... I am happy to see him slowly starting to walk again! Awesome job Chaminade! Great year! Until Next year... (So sorry no pitures.. my cell phone will not send them to my email) Chandler even climbed up the latler with his broken foot and fat cast on and managed to cut part of the net along with everyone else one at a time..pretty cool!
