This past Wed-Sat we were in Portland for the 2008 LEST. This is a gathering of 15-18 Lutheran Schools from the west coast to compete in vairous areas of music, drama, spelling, math and basketball. For us (HOPE), it means the end of our long season. We took two teams, 1 comprised of mainly 7th graders as the blue team, and another all 8th graders as the Gold team. The blue team unfortunately lost two in a row and was out of the tournament. The gold team however, won 2 in a row, and made it to the championship game. It was the first time in about 15 years since a Hope boys team has made it to the championship. The last time a Hope boys team won the championship was my 8th grade year back in 1987! Anyway, the guys did great. We surprise a lot of people and did our very best. As you can see from Maddie's top 4 below we "Won" 2nd place...they played super hard and we were very proud of the team.
