I've developed a serious case of bleacher butt over the past 24 hours. We attended the Mayo varsity games last night - and Erin and her friend worked as the water girls for the boys game and honorary ball girls during the girls game.
Then today, it was four games to finish up the Big 9 season for Erin's team. The 6th grade Spartans avenged their two losses by beating Mankato West in the semifinals and then taking out top seed Owatonna in an exciting championship game. Lil' E played some minutes in every game and left the court smiling. We'll take that. Anything that brings moments of happiness and occupies our minds - even just for a little while - is welcomed.
