Playoffs

These Lady Rams won their first playoff game against their rival, Deer Park. 

We were down by 4 and Olivia was fouled. She made her first free throw to cut the lead to 3. Then a timeout was called. There was literally 2 seconds left on the clock. After the time out Olivia went for her 2nd free throw and missed…Sam got the rebound and immediately threw out to her sister Quin who sunk the three…tie game pushing them to overtime. It was hard fought from there and Lady Rams end with the 43-46 win!

Now we move on to next round against Freeman. This is the farthest this program has made it in post season. We couldn’t be more proud. 

 

Basketball wrapping up

The basketball season is coming to an end. Coach Joe’s son has been a super fan all season. 

We had Senior night Tuesday. Olivia has become a regular starter and is playing really well. 

Emma is doing really well too and having fun with her friends along the way. 

We played Lakeside for Senior night. This picture is Olivia and Avery…they used to hang out as babies. 

We ended up losing Senior Night but the girls played the best I’ve seen them play. 

That took them into last night. They won!!!

Look at those happy faces! 

It was our last home game of the season. 

Could not ask for a better finish. 

Congratulations Lady Rams. One more game tonight and then playoffs start next week. 

 

Basketball Photos

The varsity basketball team did a fun photo shoot at the beginning of the season. 

This is a super fun group.  

They are a young team…only 2 Seniors and 2 Juniors. There is 1 Freshman and rest are Sophomores. 

Tonight was their first league home game. These posters were up on the wall in the gym. Emma…#12…

Olivia…#24!

Super Stars!!!

 

Tubing

The basketball team went tubing on Mt Spokane this weekend. Kaylee, Emma, Olivia and Mariah were a group. 

Cute selfie 

Some of Marcus’s friend group was there too. 

Olivia is coach’s daughter. She brought Matilda and Ben is the brother of the other 2 sisters that play on the team. 

Hayley joined the girls’ group too.  What a fun day!

 

Checking out Colleges

The girls took a trip with Marc for some college tours in Utah. They look like world travelers. 

The trip started with a camp at Dixie State University. Kynlea was there too. 

Go Diamonds 

Olivia pitched really well 

Hard work paying off. 

Emma played short stop and did really well too. 

Emma also rocked as catcher. 

The field and dugout was amazing according to Marc. The locker room is attached to the dugout. 

The girls and Marc headed to Vegas the next day. 

The Toners are in Vegas at a cool RV Resort…Olivia was impressed by the lights on the trees. 

Kynlea played in a tournament with our other Diamonds team so they watched. It was cold so Brooke kept Emma warm. 

Vegas!!!

Sunday was another college tour day. They drove to Cedar City UT and checked out Southern Utah University. 

Cool football field. 

They met one of the basketball players so got to check out inside the facility too. 

Softball field at SUU

Then they drove to Zion

So pretty 

Overall it was a great trip!  They are growing up much too fast!  

 

Skating

The girls’ friend group decided to try the ice ribbon in downtown Spokane today. They had a blast. 

Then they walked around the mall for a bit. 

They had to have a picture of the big tree. So fun!
