What a Day!

  SmileyCentral.com            Well, I guess I have to say that the smiley pretty much shows every emotion that was felt today during the basketball game.  The Braves played a tremendous ball game today, but fell short of a win 🙁 .  The Braves lost to Dayton Thurgood Marshall in overtime 53-62.  I am still very proud of them, however.  They displayed the same hard work, teamwork, and good sportsmanship that the LE Nation has come to expect from them.  Coach Stiverson and his team are a class act.  Thanks for the great season and best of luck to the seniors on the team.  Timmy, Brandon, Chad, Vic and Corbin-you’ll be missed!

GO BRAVES!

I’d like to wish our Logan Elms Braves basketball team the very best of luck in tomorrow’s game.  This group of young men have worked very hard to go this far in the tournament.  As most of you know, my family attends all of the basketball games and we have enjoyed watching them play throughout the season.  I can remember watching many of them play in 7th and 8th grade, as well as JV.  I am very proud of their efforts.  They have made their families, friends, and the entire community proud.

I’m keeping my schedule for Saturday open.  I PLAN to be in Columbus again watching the Braves bring home a State Championship!

Remember, the game will be broadcast on WKKJ 94.3 beginning at 10:30 AM.  If you can’t be at the Schott, then cheer the Braves on while listening to the radio!
