Happy 14th Birthday Chris!!
12:47 PM
I'm a little slow in getting this up here but I thought everyone would want a glimpse of Chris' 14th birthday celebration!
2/14/2009 Nuggets v. Suns, 24-22
4:06 PM
WOW, most exciting Rec game so far this season!!! Josh played amazing as always!! The final basket was scored as a buzzer beater with the assist from Josh Ranc! What a great game! I also find it note worthy to mention that this was just an INSANE weekend of basketball as Chris scored his final 2 foul shots at his game against Bethany to win the game 41-40!!!! I missed it and spent half the night pouting over it, the whole having in-laws thing really complicated my life sometimes! LOL All kidding aside, I really did pout half the night because I missed it, WAY TO GO RANC BOYS!!! Thanks for an exciting weekend, I am so proud of all three of you!!!!!
2/13/2009 LW v. Brooklyn, 82-44
3:16 PM
By far the BEST game of the season, James was the man of the evening scoring 24pts!! He was inssane, he literally just couldn't miss! Coach Durbin is finally getting his act together and playing his best players. James was the high scorer of the game and even had his first news paper interview! He also caught the eye of the BW scout who asked Steffon to introduce him! Finally, all that hard work paying off in a BIG way!
I missed this game because of a program that I'm in at the gym so Kirk took some footage, what a good guy! LOL Here's a nice little clip of a great shot by Josh!
1/23/2009 LW v. Brookside, 82-51
2:27 PM
Ok, lets be honest, Brookside wasn't exactly a worthy opponent; BUT James scored so many points I lost count, and regardless of the fact that the other team wasn't that good he still had to make all those shots! Probably one of the more quiet games I've ever been to, maybe because Dad wasn't there LOL but watching your brother score a million points is ALWAYS a good time!
Josh as always played an excellent game, 
there was however some tension with one particular ref whom he didn't seem to agree with. If you can watch my footage with out throwing up from the bouncing you'll see him not so silently protest some calls being made. The older brother reffing with the younger brother playing dynamic is probably one of the more hilarious things you'll ever watch. Hilarity aside, GREAT GAME JOSH!

I've decided to post games individually from now on because loading one video at a time and waiting until it's done to move on to the next game takes FOREVER! James played AMAZING against Keystone, I don't remember how many points he ended up scoring but it was just a total break out game! Coach Durbin stumbled and bumbled his way until he found the right 5 guys to have out on the floor and HOLY COW look at that, we won against one of the best teams in the conference!! Don't be fooled by the clips from the game, they aren't the same clip Jamie just happened to make back to back three's from the same spot! SWEEEEEETTTT!!!!
Basketball Updates!

I have been catching a LOT of heat at home for not staying on top of the blog as of late. In my defense I have started school and was recently sick, but I know what everyone will say... excuses, excuses. There is a LOT of basketball to catch up with so without further ado here it is:
Lutheran West v. Buckeye, 49-57
Honestly, we NEVER should have lost this game, the boys played hard but Coach Durbin often leaves something left to be desired from his coaching performance... some how you go from 47-47 with 4:00 minutes left in the 4th to the final... you tell me!
