The Night Before Tourneys

'Twas the night before tourneys, and all through Bigfork land,
Not a Huskie was stirring, not even the band.
The jerseys were hung and laundered with care,
In hopes that tomorrow would soon be here.
The Lady Huskies were resting and snug in their beds,
While visions of VICTORY danced in their heads!
And Siri in her warmups and Rob in his cap,
They had just sat down for a long bus ride and chat.
When out on the court there arose such a chatter,
We sprang from the bleachers to see what was the matter.
Out came the Spartans as they ran around the gym,
We looked at the roster and saw there were ten.
When, what to our wondering eyes should appear,
But confidant Lady Huskies with a loud roaring cheer!
With a fearless Coach Powell ready and raring to go,
We knew in an instant Andi would be toe to toe.
With her teammates surrounding her and waiting for the tip,
The ref tossed the ball and to Bigfork's #3 it went.
Greg whistled and shouted and called them by name;
"Now, Shelby! Now, Megan! Now, Lisee and Andi;
On Theresa, on Carolyn, on Robin and Britney!
From one end of the court and back the other way,
PLAY DEFENSE, PLAY DEFENSE and BLOW THEM AWAY!
Kruger, Anderson and Bevaqua will run, run, run,
but they won't get past Huskie's that run and gun.
Kingsbury and Sletten are tough to defend,
But the Lady Huskies are strong and will fight till the end.
They talked in the huddle and came out with a plan,
That totally demolished Clusiau's little basketball clan.
This game was a big one, and that they all knew,
But they all came together and fought their way through!
And then, in a twinkling, they saw their Coach smile,
He was beaming and oh so proud of all of his gals.
They battled with the Spartans and came out on top,
Everyone knew the Huskies couldn't be stopped!
They WILL BE Section Champions once and for all,
and will claim their VICTORY with that dimpled leather ball!
