Recently we enjoyed attending a local game for Kelsie's basketball team. Normal travel time for us is nearly 2 hours. Twenty minutes in the car was a great gift. We've known for nearly a year that her Division III team would get to play an exhibition game against the Maryland Terrapins. They got a taste of what big school athletics are about in the Comcast Center. Some students choose a small private school because it's just that, small and private. Several at Messiah have transferred in from Division I schools. Our girls are competitive and athletic and at the top of their conference. They held their own and played well in this big "turtle" arena. Afterwards, we were treated to a reception at Ledo's for families and friends to visit with the team before they returned to school.

| Squash the turtle!!! |

Silly Turtle -
Mason was heckling him so him came over to say "hi". |
 |
Though nervous, he did give a fist bump
after seeing the turtle cry a little. |

| Final score |
 |
At this moment, the final score doesn't matter.
Messiah team captains invite every opponent to pray with the team
at center-court at the end of the game. Most accept. |
