The high school state championships for Minnesota mock trial were over the last 2 days in Duluth. Although I was invited to travel with team B I could afford neither the time nor the money so I had to make due with just getting a barrage of text messages from team members.
Team B did pretty well, making it to the Championship trial where they lost. The worst part about this wasn't the losing. Second place is great and they should be proud. The worst part for me was that I had thought they won and then had that joy ripped away from me. I got a text message from one of the team members who was not participating in that round saying simple "they won." I started cheering as silently as I could in the library, super excited for these kids. Then about 25 minutes of sheer elation later I get a call, letting me know the "they" referenced in the text message was School B's opponents. Kinda crumby but overall very good and exciting.
Next year school B is returning a lot of talent, and I am going to be working with them all year (as opposed to only the last 3 weeks of the season) so they are going to be killin' fools from day 1.
watch out for them.
