On Wednesday we started off our practice with three quarters of running. Each quarter was 8 minutes long. And the breaks between each of the quarters were only about a minute and a half long. When we were finished doing all of our quarter we practiced our plays. After we were done practicing all of our plays we started to shoot our free-throws.
On Thursday we started off our practice with only one quarter of running. We only did one quarter of running because we usually only do a shoot around practice the day before we play a game. After we were done with our quarter we started shooting our twenty-fives. And after we were done with that we started to shoot free-throws for a little bit. Then we went back to shooting our twenty-fives until our coach came out of a meeting than we were finished with practice.

Basketball
At the beginning of this week our basketball coach told us that we need to be running our hardest while we are in practice. He told us that we have to be running 110% every minute while we are in practice. He want us to run harder than we have before because we only have two more weeks until we go to regionals. Regionals this year are going to be in New Halen. If we place first or second in regionals we will go to Anchorage and and go to State.
Weather
The Weather here on St. Paul is really sloppy. The temperature was really cold last week. But this week the temperature has gotten really warm. It has also started to get really rainy the past couple of day. All of the snow that we had is melting and it is turning into slush.
I am hoping that this means winter is almost over. I hope that winter is almost over even though we barely even had a winter here on St. Paul this year. But I do not want to have a lot of rain because it is making the roads really slushy. I would rather have it be warm outside but I would rather have snow than rain. I just want it to be summer already so that it could be warm out.

Valentines Carnival
Tonight the basketball team is going to host the Valentines carnival. We are going to have at the Rec Hall. It is going to start at 5:30 p.m and will end around 8:00 p.m. The carnivals here are not really big but people still have a lot of fun at them. I am going to be running the "Jail" at the carnival.
We are going to be selling spaghetti and halibut fritters at the carnival. The fritters will be sold with french fries. A couple basketball players and I will go to the Rec Hall after school and start frying the french fries. And the other basketball players will stay at the school and make the spaghetti. We will also be selling soda pop at the carnival.

St. Paul tournament
We had a basketball tournament here on St. Paul last week end. We played against New Halen, New Stuyahok, and Port Alsworth. We played each team one time. We had won every game that we played in the tournament. We had won the first place trophy in the tournament.
In our second game we played against New Stuyahok, we were down in the first half. We were down but our coach talked to us and made us play smarter. After he talked to us we played a lot better. We ended up winning by about 11 points. I was able to make 10 points in this game and had gotten 9 rebounds.
The last game we played we went against Port Alsworth. Their team was not in the best shape. We were up by almost 30 points by the end of the second quarter. Our coach did not have to talk to us during half time because we were doing good. We ended up winning the game by 44 points, the final score was 67 to 23.

St.Paul Round Robin Tournament
The St. Paul School is hosting a basketball tournament here on St. Paul. This is the first time that St.Paul has hosted a basketball tournament with teams from other schools since about twenty or so years ago. The teams that came here are New Stuyahok, New Halen, and Port Alsworth. All the teams came in today at about 12:30 pm. There were a few of our community members who fed the teams lunch and dinner.
There were two basketball games that went on today. The first game was at 6:30 pm tonight. New Stuyahok and Port Alsworth were the first teams to play. New Stuyahok was the team that won in that game. New Stuyahok won the game by at least thirty points.
We played the second game that happened tonight. We played against the New Halen team. We started the game at about 8:00 pm. We beat their team by thirteen points, the final score was 67 to 54. I finished with about ten points and I had gotten a lot of rebounds.
There will be two more games tomorrow. The first game will be at 6:30 pm. And the second game will start at about 8:00 pm again. We will be playing during the second game. I do not know who is going against who yet but I think that we will probably go against New Stuyahok.
There will also be two more games on Saturday morning. The first game is going to be at 8:00 in the morning. And the second game will be at 10:00 in the morning. We are going to be playing in the second game. They are having the games in the morning because all of the teams are going to be leaving in the afternoon on Saturday.
