It was my first championship in that type of environment. The sound of the crowd erupting as the shot went through is one I'll never forget.

I love this game!
The secret to a great game is clipped from your post above -- coaching. Especially at the 8th grade level, the coach's attitude makes such a huge difference in how well the kids play.

You really had a great set-up, and you milked it for all the pleasure you could get out of it. Great job.

I guess we need to buy a couple dozen little stuffed monkeys in striped shirts to put onto people's backs. We're recruiting them fast and furious now!
