Yup! We got snow alright! The Sun-day radio patiently announced all thechurches by name that were cancelled.After a few times of that, I think I wouldbe tempted to say prayers at home, workthis weekend and be safe; nobody willbe open.

The wind plastered windows anddoors with snow so you were nearly inyour own world. The very good thingwas electricity stayed on, and so heat andlight were both plentiful. After the winddied down, people helped each other todig out and check on each other.

Breda is working on our electricitylines. A crew comes in to get new polesup by Snappy Popcorn, and electricalwork will be done in the circle north oftown. Other areas get a little updating,too. We have come a long way from asingle light bulb of our forefathers.

Mt. Carmel is working hard on theircentennial and everything is going asscheduled. Now you can delightful pot-tery with an old-fashioned look -- a pic-ture of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel churchand the Mt. Carmel imprint on it.

These cold days are a good time totalk to each other about floats for theirparade. When spring comes, we will bebusy at other things.

This week we have March 1. Is itcoming in weather-wise like a lion orlamb?

“We thought we were a good team and wanted to win the conference. We didn’t quite make that goal, but we had agood chance late in the season. Unfortunately, we lost a couple games by last-second shots which dropped us to 4thplace. Game by game, we played better with an occasional hiccup or two. We learned how to play together better asthe year went on. We ended the season at 15-8, and each girl improved their individual skill level. Overall, the girlshad a very successful year.

“We continued working hard on individual skills this year, and that will continue. We have big holes to fill with ourgraduating seniors. So, next year we need to step up our game on individual shooting and defense. We will havemultiple returning girls who had significant starting roles and significant playing time. We expect growth from each ofthem as well as our younger players. We will re-dedicate ourselves to an off-season of improving our skills. We wantto hit the ground running next year!” ~ ~ ~ Head Coach Dan Kock
