Wow.. What an experience!! We traveled all the way to Allentown, PA (Just North of Philadelphia) to work with the Push The Rock ministries.  We meet some great people over the two weeks.  It confirmed to me that you can play at a high level and be a Christian.  We had great teach by Jose Medina, a local high school coach, and quality team time sessions, where we talked about the bigger issues of life outside of basketball. Here are some images from the camp and a trip to NYC.. The last image is amazing.. They actually play basketball outside, under the lights.  Never seen it before in my life!! It was just like seeing snow for the first time.

Holy Angels won in overtime versus New Prague JV. Trenton McCarthy turned the game around with 2 layups and a big defensive stop to start overtime. The final score 63-60. Conner Failor scored 9 points in the first half and then the rest of the team took it home from there.

Congrats to Rogers 8th Grade Girls basketball team. Over the weekend, they defeated Maple Grove for the championship.

Tessa McCarthy scored in double figures and helped the team to the 38-33 victory.

Congrats to Holy Angels JV for taking control of the game at Northfield. After a big night of weather, I thought it was going to be one of those long nights trying to arrive on time and taking for forever to get home. The weather held off and Trenton played really well scoring in double figures and helping the team to a well earned 59-49 victory.

Here are some pics from our road trip to Chicago, IL last week. I had a great time with my kids. EdDebevic’s was fun and Lou Malnati’s was just as expected, great pizza.
