    Well, we became the next last night in a rather bizarre finish. Two of my top three shooters had off nights and shot 98's and two shot very poorly with a 95 and a 91. I still had a 496 from the top five but we were tied. Tied at top six, tied at top seven, tied at eight and finally, unbelievably, that 91 made a difference and we lost. 878 to 882. Only the second time in the league a match went to nine shooters. We were in the other one as well and won that one. Can't put the blame on the kid that shot the 91 although it never should have happened. The 95 shouln't have happened either. These two shot 99's in the previous night's match. Hard to understand that just one more point anywhere out of the top 8 that didn't shoot 100's would have won it for us.

    They weren't cocky, they were just off. One of the 100's came from a kid that has been struggling of late and all three that shot 98's were below their average. Hopefully, they learned something and can move forward. I found out why the other team is doing so well. A coach from one of the other teams that won two championships prior to quitting is helping them 5 days a week. He knows what he's doing and has turned them around rapidly. He's not the head coach, he's still there but he's volunteering and much more involved than their head coach.

    We need to find consistency from all 9 shooters in the matches. Just not there yet. I have five up one day and five others up the next.

    My kids shot 100, 100, 99, 99, 98, 98, 98, 95, 91. Hard to complain about the first 7.
