Lightning Take 4th at State, Andy Dominates


      March Madness has come to an end, but a little less known, possibly more exciting basketball tournament has already taken place this year.  The Special Recreation Association state tournament has swept through Bloomington, IL and with it brought some very intense competition.



      Avenues’ very own Andy led the Lightning to a very impressive 4th place finish.  How did they accomplish this you might ask?  Well, it would be impossible to deny that Andy’s incredibly tenacious defense led the way.  This season Andy focused on all aspects of the game, but what really made the difference in making the state tournament was his Dennis Rodman like rebounding ability.  When Andy was on the court, you could almost guarantee that any missed shot would end up in his hands, a huge advantage for any team.

Go Lightning!

      With everything all said and done, Andy looks back on the 4th place finish as a total success.  Not only did the tournament prove that the Lightning are a great team, but the experience was something Andy will never forget.  The much anticipated trip down to state included meals out on the town and of course spending the night away from home.

Congratulations Andy!!!  

All your hard work throughout the season certainly paid off!!!      

Good luck in the upcoming softball season!!!
