Update

Hey again! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, school is getting pretty hectic. But I do have very good news with this update. We have played two matches since then, we won one and lost one. The first match was against rivals Slippery Ninjas who we were tied with going into the match. We all played very well and were able to come out with a clutch victory by three points. Our final match of the season last week was a very important one. We were sitting tied for first place in our division, where the top two teams advance. There were also two teams just below us nipping at our heels to take our place. We faced off with Cobra Kai, a team in the other division. While we played the best match of our season, we just didn't have enough to get past the high-flying Cobra Kai. We lost 7-3 in a game that was closer than the scoreline indicated. So, we were very anxious about our playoff fate, we knew that our differential would be worse than either of the teams below us had they won their game. So I kept a close eye on the website for any news about the future. Then, late at night last night, I checked again to find that the website had updated the league scores and standings. We lost 7-3, Slippery Ninjas lost... and Team Young lost! We still get a chance at the playoffs! We will make the most of this lucky break we received, coming in as the two seed from our division. Tomorrow night we face Pinky and the Brains, the winner of the other division, and a one-loss team.(We supplied them with that single loss) It no doubt will be tough, but I believe in our chances of victory.

On another note, Phil finally got the package in the mail that he was so anticipating. His new curling shoes, broom, socks, and broom head cover. They look beautiful and professional and will surely help him improve his game now that he uses the best there is.

On yet another note, we are still on the search for a summer bonspiel and we think we have settled on the Blazin' Brooms of Blaine bonspiel in Blaine, Minnesota.
