Battle of the Saints

On March 20 (Ethan's birthday!) we had the fourth annual Battle of the Saints game! The Battle of the Saints is a basketball game played by the dads from St.Lawrence versus the dads from St. Boniface, our rival school. Our dad was on the team this year, along with some of our friends' dads, plus some others. Ethan sat with the fourth grade on the St.Lawrence side, and I (Kelsey) sat with my friends above the sixth-graders. All the seventh-graders who were there and went to St.Lawrence last year stood on the St. L side. We also had some former St. B students stand with us because our science teacher was offering extra credit points for cheering for St.L (her kids go to St.L too)! Our dads got off to a rough start, but they started coming back and were suddenly winning by about ten points! They kept their lead and won 54- 39. The first year the dads tied, the next year St.B won, and St.L has now won twice in a row!!
