Saturday/yesterday was really a nice event to celebrate a great high school basketball career and share the monument with a lovely group of people we've spent a lot of time with in our lives on Newark-Granville Road. Basketball Moms of juniors- Emily Wilson and Janine Morterello- coordinated Senior Night for the four seniors on the Granville Girls Basketball Team (a tradition.) Posters, flowers, balloons, announcement,program, a walk across the court, pictures, starting positions were so well executed. Bonus- Leithauser family sharing the game with us, a big win, Licking County League title secured (so they cut the net) and the fun continuing at Donatos well into the evening! It has been quite a pleasure to sit in the bleachers, sharing the fun all these years. Senior night dusted off great pics showcasing early years and great success. Joe's passion and care shared with his kids. Clare's hard work and commitment have paid off. She does not play much but she is part of the team and has gained many important lessons. She is grateful for how well they transfer to lacrosse. We're grateful for how they transfer to life and the relationships and friendships sharing the journey. Congratulations and thanks to all involved with the program- great season for you, and great career for you Clare.
Never just one thing happening in our lives- Peter had Sectionals for swimming. Not getting to see him swim that much this season I was able to see the 1st event. He was the anchor in the 200 Medley Relay with the freestyle. Peter only swims free these days. He had a wonderful sprint catching the lead relay to grab the first place finish in the heat. He went on to have other PB- personal bests in the 100 and 50! We kept track on-line and via text. It has been a great season for Peter and we're proud of his progress.
What about Sally you say? Basketball is over, lax starts in March- she is the fabulous supporting sibling in the stands. Transition time means hair cuts, dog walks and hopefully some friend and family time. Basketball not over for Clare- this is a great team and we're rooting for them in our lives on Newark-Granville Road!
