Alaina's team ended its regular season Thursday night by beating East 53-39. Northwest finished 12-8 overall and 10-6 in the league. That's the team's best records since the 1999-2000 season. Alaina has played better lately. She has 44 points, 22 rebounds and five blocks in her last two games. I'm sure the East coach was wondering who the hell she was because she missed the first game between the two teams for Mom's funeral.
In Kansas, there are 32 teams in Class 6A, the classification for the largest schools. The teams are broken down into eight, four-team substates. Each substate winner advances to the state tournament. Alaina's team will be the top seed in its substate, so it has a chance to advance to state. Northwest plays Thursday, probably against a neighboring suburban school we barely beat earlier in the year. So say a prayer for her Thursday morning.
