Many Seward people were at the Lincoln North Star HS this evening to see the Bluejays beat the Columbus Discoverers 51-43 in the District Tournament. Columbus had defeated Schuyler last night in the first round. Seward goes in to the District Tournaments ranked #1 in Class B even though they have lost twice to Beatrice and to Pius X (Class A) this season. This was not one of Seward's better games. They had a 16-6 first quarter lead, 21-13 at the half, picked up some momentum to lead 35-20 at the 3rd quarter point and then gave up 23 points in the 4th to finish 51-43. We stayed to watch the first half of the Crete-York game which was very close. Seward will need to play better to beat either of them in the finals.
Norm Schulz, Marv Taylor and I went down together. Between games we had a Sloppy Joe sandwich and when we got back to our seats, Kevin Sjuits, Channel 10/11 sports announcer, was filming some of the Crete-York game. We had a nice visit and Norm took the picture of Kevin and I. He is my favorite local sports announcer. Norm didn't even set down with us but continued to visit with him until halftime when we left. The Finals are scheduled for Friday night but we have a significant snowstorm scheduled for tomorrow afternoon and into Friday so we will see what happens. We are so dry in eastern Nebraska that the Weather Forecasters tell us we would already have snow here but the air is so dry that it evaporates on the way down.
