Richland Girls Varsity Basketball vs Eisenhower

Tonight was the kind of night that every Richland High student should be proud of. After struggling through the first two quarters of the game, coming up at the end of the first tied at 11 and down by a point or two in the second quarter, our Bomber ladies sucked in their gut and blew the competition away in the second half.

The last three minutes of the game were the most intense that I have ever witnessed. Our Bombers had just secured a hearty ten point lead and looked to be on their way to smashing this undefeated team. The ladies kept this lead and only ran with it increasing their win to a final 41 to 28... or so. Correct me if I am wrong.

So what made it the most intense three minutes of a game that I have ever seen? How about the last three minutes of game time actually ended up being about ten minutes of what I call "real life" time and those ten minutes happened to start just about ten minutes before Scrubs! Every foul called and free throw taken was just teasing me that we wouldn't catch the beginning of Scrubs. With only two minutes left until Scrubs was due to start the game finally ended and my friends and I rushed out to the parking lot to my van to go see Scrubs.

Luckily, we came prepared. We all knew that the game would be a close call interfering with Scrubs, so I brought along my battery operated portable TV, chips, soda and the seats in the van. We got to the car and set up our portable living room outside the gym and were able to just catch the last commercial before Scrubs started.

The episode was not only great in itself, but also in the way that we presented it to ourselves. There is just nothing like watching Zach Braff do his work under a clear star-lit sky with a cool spring breeze graze across your face. It felt like the episode would never end.
