STATE CHAMPS

On Friday we headed to Butte with my mom to go to State basketball! She was here all week helping Elle and David with Graham. We stopped to take a picture with the Montana State sign.

We watched games all day long on Friday, and our boys won their semifinal game against Capital. Payt still had a broken wrist and he couldn't play which was such a bummer. We stayed with the Hoagland's who were sweet enough to let us all stay with them. We spent all of our time at the Butte Civic Center and for one weekend of the year (the best weekend of the year) we watch basketball and it is the best!

We also went and checked out the Berkeley Pit to waste a little time and it was so windy we almost blew over. 

 Everyone gets mad when I try to take pictures, but they will thank me later.

On Saturday we got up and went to the 2 loser out games in the morning, ate lunch, then went back to the gym to find our seats for the rest of the night. 

The Skyview played West High for the Championship. We had already beaten then twice during the year. The second time is when Payton was going up for a lay up and then got undercut and got his wrist broken. We were so sad for him but he has handled it so well throughout this whole season. 

They started by announcing everyone and then the game started.

 It was a close game the whole time, and came down til the very end.

The game ended and Skyview came out on top. Winning a state championship is SO GREAT. But when you beat West to get your win it is even better!

Congratulations to the Skyview Boys Basketball team, coaches, and especially Payton! So proud of how you have handled all of this! Congrats to all the history that has been made!
