Basketball Tourney

The hub school's gym teacher decided to challenge the girls and the guys of the Peace Corps to a little basketball. Nils and his group of guys started practicing Saturdays to give the middleschoolers some serious competition. It was a good game to watch. The middle schoolers seriously almost "schooled" our guys but luckily the CP (Corpul Pacii) team pulled ahead by one point by the end of the game. At one point, the middle school team was ahead by 15 points. Now that's a Jazz-like comeback!
For us girls, we didn't even know who would be playing until the "day of". But come on! The kids are only in middle school. No big deal, right? Uh, unless the coach plays.... That's right! The coach had played on a professional women's team back in the day and had a great time "spanking" us all. The end score was 44-16 (I think)... I made a 2-point basket though!
The guys played first, so here's a picture of my team warming the bench. We did a little cheering, and of course lead the WAVE :)

Emily & Nils -
I'm glad I came across your blog with the new address! Dr. Bergeson has been taking care of my grandma, and it got me wondering how you two were doing over there in Romania. It looks like you're living it up! We added a new little family member on Feb. 1st! Lydia Emily Stauffer is doing great & so are Jenny & Paul! Eric is looking forward to the end of the school year, as it always seems to go this time of year. Anyway, it seems like the two of you are doing great things! Best wishes....
Emily
