A Cute Story About a Little Lady Huskie Fan
I received an email the other day from a grandmother that her granddaughter, who is in 5th grade, had gone to her Youth Group bowling activity in Grand Rapids last Sunday. Well, it is the same Youth Group (Lord's Army Youth Group) that Shelby goes to and a few of the other Lady Huskies have also been to in the past....
So her grandmother emails her and asks her how bowling went and if she had fun...these are the responses: (sounds better if you actually read them yourself)
How was bowling? Did you see the Bigfork bb team there?
bowling was awesome!! But guess what!!!!!!
WHAT?
Shelbey from the team was there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Number #3, no way!
{Hahahahahah}YA!!!
Of course I emailed back and forth with the grandmother and mother and they said that she was so "star struck" to see Shelby that she was too scared to go talk to her...I told her next time she will have to because Shelby loves kids.
Told Shelby about it and she emailed her right away and of course the little girl emailed her right back and was excited...said she was too shy to talk to her. I took a picture of each starter and a funny team picture to the school and had them all sign the back of their pictures and mailed them to her today...I'm sure she will be surprised and excited when she opens that letter!
Just a cute story that I wanted to share with everyone. It is just amazing how these girls and team have affected so many people! I'm sure that's the story for every team from small towns that get to the State tournament...lots of little girls that want to be just like them.
The girls also got flowers and a note from the local bank at the pep fest before the Section Championship game that said "this is from all of those little girls out there that say to their dad's, "I want to be just like her when I grow up...." makes you want to cry...

Grand Rapids Article on Bigfork Fourth Place at State
Copy and paste and this will take you to the article that was in the Grand Rapids Herald Review this past Wednesday, 3/25/09 regarding Bigfork's Fourth Place finish at the State Tournament.
http://www.grandrapidsmn.com/articles/2009/03/28/sports/doc49ca484e8c3f6115470805.txt
A nice article as usual from the Herald Review. Jason has been great about keeping up with the local area teams and of course our Bigfork Huskies. And for all of you parents out there, if you send them the information they WILL put it in the paper! You can email pictures and the information to go along with the picture and they will do there best to get it in the earliest edition.
They are a smaller paper with only one sports reporter so you can imagine that he cannot get to every single game at every area school...so they do appreciate it when parents, family members and coaches submit information! Just a heads up for all you Huskie parents out there....

Goodhue Pictures Are Up on Gallery
I finally had some time to get at least the first game done and it they are on the jgoblephotography.photostockplus.com gallery under 3/18/09 Bigfork v Goodhue.
I put pretty much all of them up even though there are some that are a little too blurry for my liking...I am missing the last half of the game for some reason and the send off. I have no idea what happened to them as I remember looking at the sendoff in the car on the way down. And there were some pictures after the girls won the Goodhue game that I really liked, but they are gone also. I don't know if I deleted them not thinking to make room for the other games or what I did....I'm kind of bummed about it but that's the way it goes I guess....I will post the others when I get them done...

Our Funny Team!!! They Crack Me Up!
I went in yesterday to take a picture of the team to insert into the Fourth Place State Trophy, and of course, we had to do another funny team picture! I always ask if they want to do a funny picture and they jump on it, especially Coach Prato! She was first to speak up!
This picture cracks me up when I look at each individual girl and the coaches...we finally got a laugh out of Coach Powell too!
This picture says it all about how close this team is and that most importantly, they KNOW HOW TO HAVE FUN!
All Tournament Team Picture
This is the Class A All tournament team with our Annalise representing the Bigfork Lady Huskies! Whoop, Whoop! We are all so proud of her for making the team...she and the rest of the team represented our community very well!

Still Working on Pictures....And a Few Plans
I had some other pictures I had to proof and order before I can work on the State pictures and have also had to go to town a couple of days. I will hopefully get the first game done and up by tonight. I have to go to the school this afternoon and take a picture of the team with their 4th place trophy to put into the actual trophy...
FYI: For the local Bigfork parents, families and all other interested parties...once I have finished proofing the pictures I have a few ideas that I will be working on. First, I will have 8x10 pictures of the team with their Section 7A trophy (immediately after their win) for sale in the office hopefully next week for $10 each. I am thinking of doing a Story Board and will have one as a sample if anyone would like to order one of those. I will do one with Shelby in mind, but I can put your athlete in the action shot of course instead! You can look through the pictures once they are up on the gallery and choose which pictures you want on the board. This will take a couple of weeks to get done and ordered. These will be $60. I might also work on an 11x14 collage of pictures, that will be on a hard back for setting on an easel, and would be $40. I will post them on the site and take orders.
I am also going to be preparing a DVD slideshow of the girls starting from the very beginning of their journey when they were just little and in Saturday Ball to the State Tournament. This will take me over a month to do and I have talked with Mr. Patrow and we will be showing the slideshow at the Edge Center in early May sometime. I will post the information as soon as I know the date and time. I'm sure it will be over an hour long. I had thought about doing it after the Sports Banquet but we don't want to take away from all of the other sports from the year to just focus on the girls. So we will do it on a separate evening and maybe have refreshments in the Commons and then move to the Edge Center for the showing of the slideshow.
I have thought about doing this slideshow for years in the hopes that they would end up at the State Tournament and since they did....I will work on one. I'm not doing it for sales, but Mr. Patrow said I should have some available for sale, so I will. If you know that you want one, please let me know ahead of time so when I start burning them (they will take forever), I can have enough prepared for that night. They will probably be $25 as they will have a TON of pictures and a lot of hard work in them as I will have to scan all of the older pictures...
Please email me if you already know that you will want one and I will put your name on the list.
jgoble@paulbunyan.net
If you have any questions or suggestions (for songs that would work with the slideshow) PLEASE let me know....Thank You!

Kernz & Kompany All Star Basketball Game
Adrianna Ivanovic, Megan Powell and Shelby Goble were invited to play in the 2009 Kernz & Kompany All Star Basketball games in Duluth on Tuesday, March 31st at 6:00 pm at the Duluth Denfeld High School. They will be on a team of ten girls from the Iron Range that will play ten girls from the Duluth Area. That should be a fun one....I don't know who the rest of the girls are on their team or the Duluth team for that matter, but will post that information hopefully by tomorrow. They received their letters while they were at the State Tournament so are confirming that they will play tomorrow morning. It should be fun to see our "up north" girls take on the "city girls"!
Will post the teams as soon as we know more....Congratulations to all three!

Klamm-All Tournament, Goble-All State
A couple of big honors for Annalise Klamm and Shelby Goble. Annalise was chosen to the Class A All Tournament team for the State Tournament. This is a big honor as they choose only 10 girls from all the Class A teams that particpated in the tournament. Congratulations Lise! (I will post a picture tomorrow and add it to this post)
As they were leaving the Target Center after Lise received her big award, one of the coaches came up to Greg to let him know that Shelby had made the All State first team! This is an award voted on by the MN Coaches Association and they choose ten girls from each Class, A, AA, AAA and AAAA. There are ten girls for the first team and ten girls that make honorable mention. (They don't have the honorable mention up yet) This is a nice honor as it is voted on by the coaches. She was excited and in shock that she made the list. Congratulations Shelby!
Here is the list for the Class A All State team and Class A All Tournament team:

We Are Back AND Exhausted!
We got home from the tournament around 7:00 pm and I had to run to Blackduck to pick up our dogs that were at the kennel....kind of missed them! We have a huge one year old Black Lab that Shelby named Tucker and a 5 month old Australian Sheppard named Allie...I missed her the most.
Anyway, I haven't had time and don't have the energy to download and go through any pictures tonight and it will probably be days before I get them all done.
BUT, the girls had a great first trip to the State Tournament and represented Bigfork High School and their community very well! They gave us a very exciting first game at "The Barn", Williams Arena, at the University of Minnesota. Just seeing them play there brought tears to quite a few Bigforkians....especially the parents.
We were not expected to beat Goodhue and almost didn't, as the girls had their lowest scoring percentage all year long, and were still able to pull off the win. Bigfork's defense kept their top scorer to 4 points and Bigfork also outrebounded them....I think the girls shot around 26% and their average for the year was 48%! So they were way off! Might have been a little nerves going on there? They kicked it into gear though and got the job done, much to the relief of the Bigfork crowd. It was nice to get that game off their back so they could enjoy the whole tournament experience and not have to go home right away.
They played Cedar Mountain-Comfrey in the semi-final game at the Target Center and that game as another great game that went into overtime. I think they were really trying to give us all heart attacks or something! It was another very exciting game and our girls had the game but a few errors down the stretch turned out to be costly and CMC won in overtime by 5 points. Adrianna was hot from the three point line and hit four in this game, while Lise hit two and Megan and Shelby each had one a piece, so a total of 8 three's in that game! They were SO CLOSE to getting in to the Championship Game their first year at State! That would have been something else, but nevertheless, we are SO PROUD of everything they accomplished and at how well they represented Bigfork.
Today they played for third place against the No. 1 ranked Barnum Bombers, who incidentally had a rough semi-final game against Ada-Borup. They lost to Ada by 21 points which was actually a shocker as they did not play like we know them to play. But today, they played well and were ready to win. Our girls had two very physical and mentally tough games that really drained them and they could not get anything going well today at all. They shot only 20% at the free throw line which kind of tells you how the game went....Shelby had a tough game and only ended up with 3 points while Lise, Theresa and Robin had 4, Adrianna had 10 I believe, with three from the three point line and Megan had 5 or 6...I don't have the numbers in front of me, but it was just not a good game, and certainly not what we know our girls are capable of...
We are so proud that they came home with the 4th place trophy, which is pretty good for the SMALLEST team (school enrollment of 78) in the whole tournament! Impressive for a small town with a K-12 school!
I will fill in information in the next few days and go through the pictures and post them on the gallery and on this blog as soon as I have some free time....need to get some rest now!

Taking Off Early
We are leaving for the State Tournament tomorrow at 8:00 am to go to the high school for their big sendoff at 8:45. We will then take our time and head down to Minneapolis and get checked into the hotel and get ready for the Class A Banquet at the Minneapolis Convention Center that evening.
I don't have a laptop so I will check and see if I can post at least results on the hotel computer in the evening. We are planning on watching all four Class A games at The Barn on the University of Minnesota campus Thursday so I won't be able to post until later in the evening.
You can check for scores at the Minnesota State High School League website: http://www.mshsl.org/mshsl/index.asp

Rochester Post-Bulletin Sounds Alot Like Mesabi Daily News

• Goodhue (17-10) will dig into the Class A state tournament against Bigfork (26-2) in a quarterfinal game at 11 a.m. Thursday at the University of Minnesota's Williams Arena.
Bigfork, out of Section 7A, was ranked No. 9 in the last coaches poll, while Goodhue was not ranked.
This is the second trip to state for Goodhue, and the first since 1996, which was the last year of two-class basketball in Minnesota. It's the first trip to state for Bigfork.
Goodhue shares the same bracket with No. 4 ranked New Life Academy (25-4) and No. 8 Cedar Mountain-Comfrey (27-2), and would face one of those teams in the semifinals at noon Friday at Target Center.

QRF Rankings ~ 3/16/09
I believe these are the final QRF Rankings for this season...I'm not sure if they change during the State Tournament or not...so Bigfork moved up to #4 after last night's game which great and shows the other teams that "maybe that little Bigfork team might be someone to look out for!" That is the fun about the State Tournament and our girls are excited to get to play some "new blood"! I copied down to the #35 QRF ranking because that is the team that the girls will be playing in their first game in the state tournament. Their coaches were in attendance at the game last night scouting, which I figured they would be. They were lucky that our game got canceled so they could come and check out the 7A title game.

Three Times A Charm, So Three Pictures to Share
I couldn't help going through a few of the pictures as they were downloading so here are three...one right after they won, Shelby and Megan hugging and one of them with the trophy.
The one of Shelby and Megan hugging tells such a story with the Floodwood player right behind them with the ball hiding her face and a couple on the bench also crying...I feel bad for teams when they lose, but we have been in those same sad shoes two years in a row, and it was Bigfork's time.
I better get to bed as it's 1:30 am....but just wanted to share these three....there are many, many more to come.
Lady Huskies Punch Their Ticket to the Big Dance
The Lady Huskies did it again and played an amazing game for all of us fans...they defeated Floodwood in the Section 7A Championship game and now have their "tickets to the Big Dance", the Minnesota Class A State Tournament! YOU GIRLS ARE JUST AMAZING!
The score at the half was 37-26 and the girls won the game by the same margin, 62-53. Four of the starters were in double digits with Shelby at 19, Adrianna with 16, Annalise with 15, Megan 10 and Theresa with 2. Floodwood actually made a run in the second half to keep us on our toes but in their usual Lady Huskie fashion, they stayed calm and kicked it into gear, with Adrianna and Theresa both playing with four fouls! Did I say amazing?
The crowd that showed up for Bigfork was incredible....seemed like the whole community showed up to support the girls! I have a ton of photos to get through and I walked in the door around 12:10 am so I just wanted to post the score and let everyone know the outcome.
The fire department and ambulance escorted the girls into town from about 5 miles out and it was the cutest thing, as all the younger girls screamed and waited, and screamed some more for their heroes. They took second place today at a tournament in Ely while the 7th grade boys took the Championship at the North Country Classic in Grand Rapids and the 4th grade boys took third! Then to top it all off, our Varsity girls take the Championship as well tonight...what a day for the Bigfork Huskies!
I will post pictures tomorrow, probably late as it is going to take me ALL day to go through them all...have to send some to the Grand Rapids Herald Review and to the Athletic Director for the school site also...AND I have the honor of getting a "Press Pass" for the State Tournament games! Which means I get to be on the floor to take pictures! That is a dream come true for me, so not only did my dream come true for the girls and the Bigfork community, but one of mine as well! They ended their regular season with a record of 26-2 and have made history for the girls basketball program in Bigfork! Congratulations to the coaching staff, Greg, Siri and Rob and to our girls who have made their dream come true!
The girls will play Goodue from Section 1A with a regular season record of 17-10 and are currently #35 in the QRF rankings....Bigfork is #5 in the QRF ranking. I don't know much about them but just by looking at their record and QRF ranking, I think Bigfork has a good shot to advance into the State Tournament. If they were to win their first game, the semi-final would certainly be tougher but I think possible! No one knows much about our team but I'm sure will be talking to other coaches and doing some scouting...we are certainly the underdog but like I said above, our girls are AMAZING and if anyone can do it, they can! They have such a strong will and not to mention the talent, to advance into the tournament.

What a Mess I Am Today!
My mind is going a mile per minute and I just can't seem to get organized! I haven't been able to get on the computer much this morning either and can't get my thoughts together to write much...I'm sure you all can figure out why!
Shelby slept until about 9:00 am then was hungry so I made her a good breakfast. She laid around just a little bit then got showered and ready to go...looked through the closet to find something from her friend Morgan to wear that said Shelby or Goble on it and had to make herself a CD to get her pumped and with some money in hand, she was out the door! Of course, not before her Dad talked to her about a few little things....
I want to thank everyone for posting comments on the blog for the girls. There are about three pages of them so that will be nice for the girls to hear before the game. I have a feeling there will be alot of people there tonight, and Shelby has many family and friends coming so that will be fun. It's hard to visit with anyone though because we get so into the game we can't focus on anything but the game....I go down onto the floor so I can get better pictures and am already worried about being in just the right spot to get the best pictures tonight. I want to get the crowd, the players, the coaches...well, just everything. If it's a close game it will be hard for me to focus on taking pictures, but I will do my best! I want to capture it all....
Soooo...I will be back on very late tonight to post the outcome of the Section 7A Championship game....my prediction tonight? Bigfork over Floodwood by 10+ (have to put that + in there to be safe ya know!)
This is what someone wrote on a forum about the Lady Huskies and tonight's game:
"My prediction for tomorrow is that Bigfork will play their best game in the last couple of weeks and really dominate from start to finish. They have survived the last two games but haven't really played their best ball. Now as they come around that final turn with the finish line in clear sight, they will kick it into another gear and finish the race strong. That is what champions do.
Floodwood has certainly earned my respect, but I think I have been clear from my first post in this forum that Bigfork is the team that should and will represent Section 7A in the state tourney."
Makes me just want to bawl.....they couldn't have said it any better!

Bigfork - Cook County Photos
Here are a few....the rest will be put on the photostock plus site but not until late tonight as we are going to dinner at Uncle Roy's and Auntie Terri's.....maybe my husband can relax a little after last night?
Favor to Ask of All You Viewers Out There
I would love to hear from family and friends from all over the country that have been looking at my blog and keeping up with our Lovely Lady Huskies...if you would be so kind as to share (anonymously if you wish) a story of one of the players or send your support and best wishes to the team and coaching staff that would be so wonderful!
I will print them all up and give them to the girls tomorrow before they get on the bus for the big game..we are feeding the girls at 3:30 at the school after their shoot around and also giving them their tournament buckets...it would be the perfect send away for them to see and hear from everyone out there that wants to see them get to the Big Dance.
I have received an email and one post from two different people that went to school with Shelby's Grandpa Rod and his sister, Shelby's great auntie Delores, asking about the girls and wishing them well.
I will print them all up and have the coaching staff read them to the girls during the team dinner or on the bus...whichever they think would be best.
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR BEING SO SUPPORTIVE TO THESE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS...they have worked so hard over the past 8-9 years to get to this pivotal point in their journey. Please share something so that we can pass it along to them on their big day....
If you want to email them to me that would be fine also.... jgoble@paulbunyan.net

QRF Rankings ~ 3/13/09
Bigfork still at #5 closely behind Cedar Mountain/Comfrey while Floodwood stands at #21. I was impressed with Floodwood after watching them take care of MIB....it will be a good game tomorrow but I have every confidence in our Lady Huskies! They had many missed shots that normally go in and when Cook Co. took the outside shot away from Shelby and Adrianna, Megan and Lise stepped up and took over...the way it's been all year long and the reason they have been so successful. The girls have too many weapons and they cannot ALL be stopped...tomorrow night will be fun! And the girls still kept their composure right down to the wire....

Bigfork Wins a Thriller Over Cook Co. 52-50
It was a back and forth game the whole way and every time Bigfork would get up, they would come right back. Their #5 was raining three's....Bigfork missed a ton of shots tonight, buckets that normally go in easily for them. I would venture to guess they missed 15-20 of those....hopefully they got the bugs out tonight and they will go in on Saturday during the Section 7A Championship game!
There were lots and lots of Bigfork fans tonight which was wonderful to see...some that came from Dora Lake that made their first game of the year....bet they will be back on Saturday!
CONGRATULATIONS to Megan Powell for getting her 1,000 rebound tonight! I don't know how many she had tonight total, but knew that she needed 9 to hit 1,000! So now she is a 1,000 point club member AND has 1,000 rebounds and another year yet to go! She also hit the winning basket tonight and made many, many, many Bigfork fans very happy...we were all able to breath again! I thought my husband was going to pass right out....
Now the girls need to get ready for Floodwood who surprised everyone and beat Mountain Iron-Buhl by 13 points, 65-52. Mountain Iron-Buhl got into big foul trouble the first half with their point guard and Aultman both racking up 3 fouls each. Charlotte and Winans had 2 and I think another girl had 2...I bet they had 13 or more in the first half. They covered Charlotte well and it took its toll on her. McKenzie (point guard) came out and drew her fourth foul right away and had to sit, then came out and fouled out on a frustration foul and she was done. I felt bad for her as they were down and that did not help the situation at all as she actually came out and drove the lane two or three times and scored plus got 2-4 free throws. They had a very good year though.
Megan was top scorer tonight also with 17, Shelby with 13, Lise with 12, Andi with 6 (four fouls), Theresa and Robin with two each. Megan and Lise both had two three pointers each tonight.
I will go through pictures in the morning and put some up....once I've recovered!

Pictures Galore
I can't believe the pictures I have! I've been sorting through many boxes and have found some lost treasures....I will post a few more of the girls when they were young as they make me smile. The days, the sleepovers, the trips, the concerts, the tournaments, eating out, swimming, carnival rides, mudding, campfires, four wheelers and jet skis and anything and everything between...these girls have spent some major time together and it shows on the court. That is why I want to show the pictures....and you can see by a few of them who one of the clowns are although they've all had their moments!
Now to explain the pictures...the first one is one of my favorites of Shelby and Megan and it was at the annual Davidson Reunion in June. Every year most everyone goes mudding in about four or five different vehicles and have a blast. It is of course Shelby's favorite thing about the reunion. And EVERY year one of the vehicles get stuck and they have just as much fun trying to get it unstuck. I think Megan had a good time...
The second picture was just a fun outing at the Pumpkin Patch.
The third picture is one of my favorites of Megan. The girls were playing in the 7th Pacesetter State tournament when Jenna, Rachel and Christi were in 7th grade, Shelby was in 6th, then Megan, Andi and Lise played as 5th graders. It was hot and I think Megan was wore out...would like know what she was thinking...
The fourth picture is just after the same tournament (above) and Shelby wanted to be her silly self and stick her finger up her nose! Now, it's one of my favorites because she is always having fun like that....
The next picture is of Heidi, Shelby and Adrianna on our way back from a Region Pacesetter tournament in Wadena. The girls took third place and coming back we saw this huge field of sunflowers...who can resist stopping to take a picture in those? Heidi hasn't played for the last two years and it's a shame because she was a good ball player and would have been an asset to the team this year.
The next is when all three were in track...the one and only year they were all in track. Megan is the only one that stuck with it every year! Just thought it was a cute picture of them when they were young and still didn't wear makeup yet!
The last picture was of course during deer season and wreath season...the girls had come over for the weekend and I was making wreaths and Shelby's older sister was deer hunting and killed her first doe behind the house by our pond....on the other side of the pond...so the three little girls and me and Desirae had to drag that dang deer all the way to the field by our house as my husband was still out hunting...we were wore out! Shelby has a good handle on those ears!
Just a few of lots and lots of fun memories!
