Lock It Down

Kayla's team was just getting ready to take the court yesterday when the police called and put us on lock down. The only thing they said was that there was something going on in the neighborhood. The teachers and staff quickly moved everyone onto the bleachers, covered the windows and turned out the lights. Have you ever had to sit in the dark for 45 minutes with a bunch of unsupervised jr. high students? NOT FUN! We found out later that there had been a car chase near the school and the suspect had ditched the car and was running through backyards. Friends that live in that area told me that the police were doing a sweep of the neighborhood house by house and telling everyone to go inside and lock their doors. Eventually he was caught but by that time it was so late that Kayla's game was rescheduled. She was bummed but it was an interesting night to say the least.
