After a GREAT VICTORY (City 59 - Burlington 39) on a Saturday afternoon the team congregated in the Commons at the high school for a team party! First order of business was feeding the hungry group!
And then......games! Prizes were on the line. When Coach Showalter showed the prizes they were competitively engaged - USA gear (shorts, shirts, sweatpants). Game points were kept through out the evening and the higher the score the earlier the chance to get the best stuff.

1) "Minute it to Win it" Games
First on the docket was a version of "minute it to win it". 3 teams of 6 competed in six different activities. Each player had to do one activity. They were such good sports!
 |
| Teams were formed |
 |
| And strategies discussed! |
Cup Stacking Using one hand stack and unstack the cups in one minute.
 |
| Henry, Will and Conrad |
 |
| Teammates cheering them on! |

Nose Dive Using only your nose (with vaseline) transfer 5 cotton balls from one bowl to the other.
 |
| Henry, Hooper, and Gonzo |
Nutcracker Using a candy cane stack 6 nuts on top of each other.
 |
| Shamari, Chuck and Jason |
 |
| Good job, Chuck |
Face the Cookie Using face muscles only (no hands) move the cookie from your forehead to your mouth.
 |
| Micah, Logan and Jason |
 |
| And the winner was....Jason! |
 |
| Many attempts by Logan |
 |
| Micah was determined. |
Stack the Dice With one hand stack 6 dice on the popsicle stick in your mouth.
 |
| Nate, Ty, and Naeem |
Snowball Toss Using one hand (and one at a time) toss the mini marshmallows into the cup. Most in the bucket wins.
2) Card/Dice Games Now each player will be on his own to gain points. Each group rotated through three games and scores were tallied.

And I was helping the spoons table and I soon
