Beebe v. White Hall

Well Badger fans, last Friday was my first broadcast since dealing w/ flood damage, and after a bit of a nervous beginning, the broadcast went just fine. As far as the games went, it was a bit of a different story. In the girls game, the Lady Bulldogs used balanced scoring to defeat the Lady Badgers. The boys game was a different story as the Badgers came back from an early 9 point deficit to defeat the fourth place team from the 5A Southeast. What I witnessed on Friday night was one of the most impressive individual performances in Beebe basketball history as junior guard Devonte Young scored a season high 33 points, including 12 in the 3rd quarter to help Beebe in the upset win. I was extremely impressed with Devonte and in my opinion, with some help, the Badgers could be a dangerous team in the 5A East in 2010-11.

A strange beginning to 2010

Well friends, its been a while since I posted anything to the site. Well, there is a good reason why. On Christmas Eve, 2009, as a result of 9 inches of rain that fell in the Beebe area over the 23rd and 24th, the neighborhood that I live in flooded and as a result, my house was damaged. My house itself had 10 inches of water in it and my garage had 16 inches of water. That night, as a result of the fast rising floodwaters, the Beebe Fire Department had to come in a rowboat and rescue me and my two pets. I have been staying at my parents since December 24. I was not able to get back to my house til December 26. Its amazing the feelings that one goes through when you're involved in a natural disaster. Mine was shock, sadness, anger, pessimism, optimism, and everything in between. I have also been frustrated with the insurance process and I will talk about later. The good news is that the contractor will be starting the repair process on Monday, and it will take 4-6 weeks. I will try to post pictures of the before and after. Also, for those wondering, I will be back broadcasting very soon. My target date is the February 19 conference double header against White Hall at Badger Sports Arena. In either case, I will be posting again soon.
