The madness has begun. For those of you keeping score at home, the Mullen High School Girl’s Basketball Team will be playing for the Colorado State 4A Championship Game tonight. I’ll be there.
Last night, I had the pleasure of watching the Mullen High School Boy’s Basketball team frustrate the Smoky Hill High School team and earn a berth in the 5A Championship Game on Saturday. This game has a special meaning to me as the Mullen team has three kids on it that I coached a few years back when they were in Junior High at St. Mary’s of Littleton. The best part of it is that we weren’t even considered the best team at St. Mary’s. All of the “good” players were on another team. These guys stuck with it and are now playing with the best in the state. That rocks. Mullen also has 6’ 11’’ Providence-bound giant Ray Hall on their team who just dominates the floor. Even with a rough night offensively and with rebounds, Ray owned the floor dictating where Smoky Hill could and could not shoot.
The best part about the championship for the Mullen boys is their opponent: Cherry Creek. I have this deep, irrational, hatred for Cherry Creek. We have friends who probably going to end up sending their kids to Creek. I hate that. There is no other entity in the world that arouses such uncharacteristic emotions in me. Dam the Creek. Go Mustangs!
And to top off the basketball revelry, the Wyoming Cowboys who have been absolutely abysmal this season (13-17 overall, 5-11 in the MWC) upset the Air Force Falcons (24-6, 12-4) to move on to the next round of the MWC tournament on Saturday against Utah. Go Pokes! Go March!

Yeah, us Creekers are dolts. DUH DUH DUH! Actually, I kinda hated about 85% of the people I went to high school with, so I kind of agree with your comments. The best thing that happened there was when the football team lost state during my jr. year. They were so cocky, they totally deserved it. I LAUGHED!
