Tuttle Regionals

Heading for State or Bust - Anadarko Lady Warriors!!!

Both Anadarko basketball teams were trying to make their way to the regionals. Our men had to come through the consolation bracket, while our ladies were in the winners bracket.

The Warrior men's team played Byng a few weeks ago and crushed them. It was not to be Thursday night. Both coaches played slow down ball. Byng knew that our forwards and guards would drill their lights out with 3 pointers, so probably 10 minutes, easily, was wasted just standing with the ball, doing nothing.

It seems to me, that this is the greatest time in the game to have a long-shot specialist. As long as their players are not attempting to play the ball, they can just stand around. So, ... why don't we have a specialist, a neurosurgeon, who can drill the ball from the bottom of the mid-circle. Send the guy in, and one made shot would change the tempo of the game and scare the pants off of the defending team. It is possible and is needed.

Unfortunately for the Warriors, we were beaten easily because we DID NOT HIT OUR FREE THROWS. Drill all year on free throws and then let the free throws beat us.

After the men's game, we took this picture of our granddaughter in front of Tuttle's own Heisman Trophy case for Jason White. In fact, I had warn my OU shirt. After that we went out to a fish place and Iris ordered frog legs. She ate one and began to feel jumpy; so I gave her some catfish and I ate the legs that were left. I, too, felt oddly jumpy. Marcella ate catfish too, but hers was a bigger piece than mine. I ordered a "Senior Meal," for which I qualify and had a baked potato.

Time for the Ladies game. Since I cannot sit in any arena, I bring my own Indian Pow Wow chair and take pictures from it. Had no problems with it, Thursday night, but I have had in times past.

The Lady Warriors came out and played their game and won by 20. Now we have to go to Byng, way over by Ada, and we may have to play Seminole or some team. Will post it here when I get it.

Well, it is after 2 AM, and I still have an upset stomach from drinking so much grapefruit juice. Not my fault. I had expensive crowns put on my front top teeth, and my mouth feels like I am rejecting them. It feels like I just ate a scolding hot drink of McDonald's coffee.
