COWBOYS TO THE FINALS!!! updated!

Salinas knocked off #1 Piedmont Hills Wed night to advance to the CCS finals!!! It was such a great game from start to finish. I have never seen these guys play better. Because of this win, Salinas will automatically receive seeding in the California State Tournament. This is the second time Salinas has ever made it this far!!! I didn't take any pictures, because if you have ever been to a game with me, I was a little rambunctious after the game. There is a news clip that will be posted later on today. I will roam the internet and find some pictures too. Oh this is too exciting!!!

Here are some articles:

While roaming I found this highlight feed:
Salinas vs Serra (This was Saturday night)

Salinas vs. Serra

Just saw this today...Kyle jump shot

Heartbreak...FOR SERRA!!!! GO COWBOYS!!! or Moon over San Jose

Ok, so this might be a long post so get comfy. What a game! Salinas defeated Serra (Barry Bond's and Tom Brady's high school) in the CCS (Central Coast Section) quarterfinals and will play in the semi's on Wednesday! What a game with last second layup 45-43!! Woot woot!

This is NOT a picture of Kyle picking his nose...I promise. Kyle came out for warmups with these on. Yes, they are pink socks. Kyle says I love you Grandma!

Pink socks close up...

Kyle pregame with his teammates

Matt the ultimate fan!

Grace the ref heckler in training.

Now this picture may make no sense whatsoever until you read this post. Kyle got a little beat up tonight and was thrown to the ground over and over and one time he got a little gimpy. He hurt his back and hip. At one point it got so bad he reached for a heat patch to place on it and was in such a state (I am not sure what state that is ) he came over to the bench and asked Alex (a teammate) to help him put the patch on his left hip Kyle proceeded to pull down the back of his shorts AND his compression shorts underneath to put the patch on. The cheerleaders and the fans in my section got a full moon. Yes full moon. I yelled "Kyle, your butt is hanging out!" He just looked at me and pulled his shorts up about an inch...still a three quarter moon. I honestly don't think he knew. Well now the cheerleaders have seen more of Kyle than ever before!

You know who you are.

Thanks boys...

Can I just say, it is not fun to lose? But...it is still ok.

This was the last regular season game for Salinas. It has been such a fun year. I am proud of all those boys..and of course Kyle. Last night was Senior night and although he is still a Junior - I was a little sad that only one more year. It will be a little while before Matthew is old enough to compete at that level. Between Joey and Kyle this has been the fourth year of SHS Varsity basketball - thank goodness we have one more. Apparently several people in the stands watch the interaction between me and Kyle during the games. He looks up in the stands as I either clap for him (which is almost always), point my fingers to my head which tells him to "think!", give him the sign for "turn it up" or get a rebound! He used to blow me kisses...that was a little embarrassing...now I just get a head nod..but I know what it means. Good luck to the Cowboys in the playoffs.

Joey sent these pictures this week...he is so darn cute.

This is the last week of the regular season for both Andy and Kyle. Hartnell is hoping for a playoff berth and Salinas is in. The fun never ends! Here is an article from last night Salinas game:

The Californian

Our house has been sick for so long I can't remember when everyone was better and one of us wasn't sick. I am hoping we are on the end of it...

Just talked to Nate...not much going on in Rexburg in the baby birthing business...Nate, I hope you are doing whatever Liesel wants you do and with a smile!!! Seeing your due date come and go is pretty yucky...it will be ok and that awesome little baby (whatever you are) will be here. Can't wait!!

Oh Little Baby It Vasher......

Yoo Hoo!!! You can make your appearance any time now! Right Liesel?

And the race is on!
