Post, post basketball.

Kinds regards go to Kurt Matthes for the idea of this title.

I truly wish I could start you off with a nice image as I usually do however I am deeply sorry to report that my camera is broken. Walking along the road, ready and keen to take Epilogue photos (which, please, stop avoiding me, Jana and co. because we will find you and we will hunt you down) when suddenly - drop - depression.

Long story short. No photos of The Last Stand from me. Please refer to Jana Nee for epic team photos or to Tegan Rennie for video footage.

I stayed after school and found myself playing touch in the Halberg with some random guys and their coach. Really fun! Haven't played touch for so long but if I must say so myself - I still got it ;)

One unique thing about Avondale basketball is the atmosphere we create. Having all those banners and posters, I think, is a real boon to us. I mean. Those other schools rock up and get skeed. Shame that they aren't as cool as Ben and scab paper off the art dept. Well done Ben.

Face paint on, I was ready for the night.

The girls played Dio at 6pm and it was a little saddening to see so few supporters for the girls. They're just as hot as the boys! Aren't you Nina? ;) They went down about ten points but it happens to the best of us. Well done girls and good luck for your future games.

Boys. vs. Dilworth. Seriously, these boys were no competition for us! Sorry Dilworth but our boys sassed you! A little sad actually because unlike the last home game I went to (albeit ages and ages ago because of work), I was unable to hear Riley's hilarious taunts! "Hey big boy...", "She fell over!" You inspire me Mr. Riley.

We made up a chant that didn't work - but will work at Nationals when we head over the to the Shore to see a few games later on in the term.

We are Dale,
We never fail,
Between your legs you put your tail,
We we score we wanna wail,
Dale!

That's right Jack. I memorised it.

Congratulations Mr. Maiava for leading an excellent group of young men. We are proud to call you our boys. See you at Nationals!

...and jokes, here's an image which I will leave you with. Hilarity strikes.


Crotch shot!
