Mission Blue-White game

Went down to the Mission Blue-White game and you could really see the wheels working as these guys worked out their offense. There's going to be several different weapons on this team and I don't think you can specifically put on a finger on "This is what they're going to do."

They can score in a blink and they can slow it down and play half court ball. It's going to be fun to watch this season. Here are some photos I took from tonight's basketball game...

Photos from the Ronan Orange and Black Game

Went to the Orange and Black game tonight with both Ronan's girls and boys teams on full display in scrimmages. It was good to see live action basketball again, and boy, do they want to run a quick-action offense. Ronan is going to be one fun team this season. Here are some photos I took from the event...

If you're looking for some winter sports this weekend, head on over to the Polson middle school gymnasium for the Polson Invitational wrestling tournament. The Lake County teams competing will be Polson and Mission-Charlo. Here's the writeup from the Daily Interlake...

Polson Girl's Basketball Season Outlook

Polson institution and local sports guru John Heglie has come out with his annual Polson girl's basketball season outlook. It should be over at iHigh.com's Northwestern A conference as well. He goes in-depth with every player and has a wealth of information on the team. I highly recommend checking out his preview. The Leader will also be coming out with the winter sports preview next week.

Turkeys of the Year

I apologize for the lack of posts this past week but with Thanksgiving, things got a little crazy. I hope everyone had a good turkey day, I know my fridge is absolutely packed with leftovers that I'll probably throw out in three months.

Anyways, I thought the most fitting thing to do to jump start the blog again was make a list of the Turkeys of the Year. Please enjoy and don't be offended! 

1. Derek Anderson, Arizona Cardinals - If you want to watch a curse word laden tirade by Arizona Cardinals' quarterback Derek Anderson, I highly recommend following this link. He had a little issue with a reporter calling him out for laughing on the sideline. You know who's not laughing on the sideline? Cardinals fans. Anderson leads the league in "DID HE JUST THROW THAT PASS?!?!" moments.

(Well Charlie Whitehurst would win but he doesn't have enough attempts to officially enter that category) 

2. Brett Favre, Minnesota Vikings - Do I really have to make a joke about him wearing Crocks here? 

3. Boise State's Kicker - We're still looking for his body after the loss to Nevada. 

4. Lebron James, Miami Heat- Everything has pretty much gone wrong since the King brought his talents to South Beach. Chris Bosh sucks. James and Wade can't figure out how to balance their offense. They hate their coach. Is it still possible for him to go back to Cleveland? 

5. Greg Oden, Portland Trailblazers - Is he injured again? His knees are less stable than the US economy and Ron Artest's mental health.

6. Wade Phillips, Dallas Cowboys - While he didn't lead the league in wins, he did lead the league in looking completely confused, befuddled and outmatched on the sideline. 

7. Andy Reid, Philadelphia Eagles - Look at this old photo of him from a punt, pass and kick competition. He's kind of big for a 13-year old.

8. Seattle Mariners - Was that not the biggest wet fart in baseball this year? At least Mariners fans got to see Cliff Lee pitch for about eight minutes this season. 

9. NFC West - I think the Big East would be more competitive in the NFL this year.
