TIME TO DANCE IN THE 'HOOD!

SELECTION SUNDAY is here and The Big Dance in Huntington Acres begins! (See the picture from last year's Huntington Acres Dance at right!) I am looking forward to an exciting year of basketball madness. We've already seen some crazy shenanigans during Championship Week. Something like 7 of the top 10 teams, by RPI rankings, have lost in the early rounds of their conference tournament. This looks like a wide open tournament that may result in a Cinderella NCAA winner - and maybe a LEWALCINDY (see picture of her Dancin') MMHA winner?! It should be AWESOME!

OFFICIAL CALLS!
>3 SECONDS IN THE LANE - Or maybe 3 seconds of Fame - Last year's winners were: 1st - PISTOL PETER BURG; 2nd - COWBOY GEORGE LANTZ; 3rd - SUNDEVIL JEFF BULL; 4th - MARIANNE PENNY WISE
