I recently got to play in the Glory Days hoops tournament for the 2nd straight year.  This is a basketball tournament where old highschool teammates get together and play a game.  There were 16 teams in the tournament.  It is run by PORTA highschool in Petersburg, IL.  Basically, you had to have graduated from the same highschool to play on your team.  It can be any age.  Lots of fun.  We ended up getting 3rd in 2009 and now got 2nd place in 2010.  We being Midwest Central.  Our roster consisted of:

• myself, Jared Morris, Jason Proehl, Ryan Burks, Josh “Goose” Watson, Jeff Thompson, Jason Friedrich, Blaise Rodgers, Scott Winders, JD Proehl

We beat Sacred Heart Griffin our first game by 10 or so.  Kind of an ugly game.  Then we beat New Berlein in game two.  That was a great game and we ended up winning by just a few.  The quarter finals we played defending champion AC Central.  We ended up beating them by 10 or so in a hard nosed game.  Then in the championship we lost to Pittsfield for the 2nd straight year.

All in all it was a well rand tournament and always fun to play with old highschool friends.  Check out the picture of our Glory Days team below.
