MOAPA VALLEY PIRATES STATE CHAMPIONS!

I am from the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, we play soccer. Soccer and field hockey. We play some more sports, but that's about it. I think there are like 2 basketball teams in the whole country. I don't know anything about basketball. I don't get basketball, it confuses me. However, I like to watch basketball. And I've been watching a lot of basketball here. And altough I don't know a lot about it, I knew our team was pretty good.

Last Friday and Saturday, our varsity boys team has been playing for State Championship. So did our Football team, but we lost.. I was pretty nervous this time, but guess what? WE BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF THEM!

I went to both games and had a blast. Especially the one on Saturday was legit. The game was in the Orleans arena, Las Vegas. It was huge. Which was pretty cool, even though our little school didn't quite fill up all the chairs, and neither did the other school, since they were from a place 8 hours away (yes, that's what they do here in America. They drive.). It was pretty cool, still.

Both schools had brought their basketball teams, cheer squads, dance teams and bands. It was like a social war. We did not only share the same school colors (YEAH BLUE AND GOLD), we also happened to share the same fight song (Dutchies; a fight song is a song the band plays all the time, to which the audience is supposed to stand up, clap, sing and get all exciited. Like Wilhelmus, but a little more up-beat..). It was like Battle of the Bands. Ours won. AND SO DID OUR BASKETBALL TEAM!

You should have seen the spirit. It reminded me of that day in 2010 the Netherlands beat Brasil in the soccer world cup. It was nuts, but so much fun. I wish I could share this year with all of you. 'Cause you probably don't want to hear this and I'm going to be pretty rude about this, and don't take it personal because it doesn't go for some of you, but trust me, your life is pretty freaking boring. SO GET OFF YOUR BUT AND DO SOMETHING EXCITING! Just a little advice. I am glad I did.

I do have one way to share this experience. They are pictures but I really am too lazy to get my SD card. Maybe tomorrow. Ha.

Viva la vidaaaaaa

See ya!
