Runnin Revs win easily!

There should be a story up soon at The Leaven, with great pictures from the game, or if you are lucky enough to have a subscription, it should reach your mailbox today, but suffice it to say that the Revs were fantastic Monday night. Well, that depends, I guess from your viewpoint. Some thought it was no great accomplishment for a team of priests to 'dominate' a bunch of 8th graders for the 14th straight year. I can see their point. But when we have such a hard time getting an able-bodied team of priests together for this game, I am amazed that we can find a way to get the ball in the basket, even against 8th graders. Usually, the All-Stars don't have much for transition defense and that helps us alot get some easy buckets and pull away. Well, we won at Miege again this year by a score of 64-57. Close but comfortable. Now we're off to Marysville to play the Knights of Columbus there. We will probably get killed on March 23rd. The future looks good for the Runnin Revs, as three seminarians, Nick Blaha, Danny Schmitz and Quentin Schmitz made their Revs debuts! They all played great! The event raised a good amount of $$ for our seminarians and raised awareness and support for vocations to the priesthood. Torrential rain during the rain caused a leak in the roof of the Miege gym so that we had to 'play around' a trash bucket at the three-point line, but amazingly, we played for two quarters and no one knocked it over. Pretty impressive maneuvering!
