Hi Maureen! I do love basketball, but I actually follow the local high school basketball more than I do the college teams. Knott County Central is our local high school and is about 1/2 mile from the house. The parents of most of the players are good friends of mine. I have practically raised half the team. We have traveled (even to other states) to watch these kids play since they were second and third graders. There has to be something major going on me to miss one of their games. They have been invited to play in a tournament at Rupp Arena (for those who don't follow college basketball: that's were the University of Kentucky Wildcats play) on December 26-31 this year and I have taken those days off and will be there with them for every game.
The problem is that the boys that I am so close to are now juniors and seniors. We only have a two years left and they will graduate on us. I am hoping that some of them play for colleges close enough for us to make some games.
