State!

Sacramento, CA March 21, 2009

Ocean View is playing in the CIF State Finals! Shane and I met up with Mark McGregor and his boys at Arco Arena for the game. Before tip off Coach Harris was up in the stands so we chatted a bit and I got a great picture of he and Shane. The man just keeps on winning...

OV got off to a slow start and fell behind early. The Seahawks were down 12-1 at one point. It's hard to make up big deficits when you only play 8 minute quarters. They finally got on track and went in still down by 11 at the half. I got a picture of Shane with the OV Cheerleaders during the break.

Third Quarter was more of the same as Sacred Heart had us in foul trouble most of the game. Starting to really struggle, we went into the 4th down by 17.

The Fourth Quarter was a different story as we made a big run and closed to within 6 with 1:21 to play. Unfortunately that was as close as we got and Coach's first trip to State ended as a runner up. With only one Senior starter they have a great shot to be back next year...

All in all a great day and it was fun to catch up with some people I hadn't seen in 27 years.
