State Champs!

Taylor's basketball team did it... they won the 5A state championship!!  It was a very exciting run!

They ended up being 3rd in their region- only the top 4 teams in the region make the playoffs, and the 3rd and 4th seeds have to travel and be the away team for every game, going to the 1st and 2nd place teams' homes.  So, they had to travel to Leesburg, Douglasville, Loganville, Atlanta, and Macon.  Whew!

We didn't go to the Leesburg game, but we got to see Taylor on TV!

Going to Loganville was super fun.  It's the high school our kids would've gone to if we hadn't moved.  We had so many friends come cheer Taylor on!  They played them in the Elite 8 and won.

Taylor was the model- final "4"

In the Final 4 game, we had to face another Cherokee County team, who beat us twice in the regular season.  They were also state champs last year!  We didn't have high hopes, but... we won!

Model again- final "2"

Onto the championship game!  We had to play Milton... in Macon... (Milton HS is about 15 minutes down the road from us).  They were a 1 seed and everyone pegged them to win.  It was back and forth the entire game, but we pulled it out and won by 2 points!!!

Such an exciting run!!  The school and community rallied around these girls!  We had so many kids come down to Macon to cheer them on.  It will be hard to match her freshman year!

They had the basketball banquet after the season was over.  Here are some pics:
