First Basketball Game & First Trip to the Steamboats

The Stebbins boys and girls basketball teams played in St. Michael on Friday. Although they were just scrimmages, the games provided some excitement for the weekend. These were the first games of the season, and both the girls and boys played well.

And if you didn't already know, Heidi is the Stebbins Knights girls basketball coach this year. Woohoo!!!



Notice the scoreboard below. Yes, we were the home team. It was a successful night for the the Stebbins girls. Final score: 81-24. We played Savoonga.


The weather has warmed up substantially since last weekend, and so Heidi and I thought we would take another group out to attempt to find the steamboats once again (our first attempt proved unsuccessful). With the added snow from the last few weeks, the ten mile trip across the tundra was now possible.


P.S. Here's a rare behind the scenes look at how our blog is written. Heidi snapped this shot while I was writing last week's post. Neffy usually dictates the first draft, and I just edit from there. She would write it all herself, but she doesn't have any thumbs.
