Just got back home from Ogden and I was able to find the results of Cortney's game on the internet.  The head line was a 48 to 45 win on a last second shot by Bonneville.  It was a lot more thrilling in person.  It was the end of another very good day for me.  Even better with Sheila there shaking off our jinx thing and really enjoying watching our grand daughter play.  Her 2nd best 11 points really helped keep them in the game and all of us there agreed that she had played a great game.  Sure she made some clunky mistakes, one in the last minute or so.  But because of her 5 free throws in the last few minutes the other team's 3-pointer could only tie the score setting up for the miracle 3-point buzzer beater.  The head lines tomorrow read 'the Bonneville Bank was open late'.  We had drive up early and stopped and had an Arctic Circle meal that we both enjoyed very much.  We got there plenty early, but we don't know when Cortney knew that we were there.  Sheila didn't want me to holler at her.  She said that she'd be nervous is she saw us.  Sherri and Russ didn't think so.  Her 1st half was good what with her controlling the tempo and running the team.  The 2nd half got very intense. I could hear the other fans. yelling for them to get Cortney.  I know that they had 2 senior guards that they used on her with the intent to stop her, but they didn't.  Slower her a bit a couple of times and then there was that 'clunker', but as I told her:  she won more of the battles against more experienced players, and helped put her team in a position to win the war.  It was a real old fashioned 'barn burner'.  (I wonder if anyone still talks like that!)  Now I'm pretty worn out from the game and the long drive.  But I'm also riding high because of the great pleasure that I took on my date night with my sweetheart.
