Zen's High School team was rocking on the courts, a four hour distance away from Santa Cruz winning in the NorCal playoffs, putting Santa Cruz High in the top eight teams in California.
But on the return drive home we heard about the quake in Japan.
Nishio, is about 800 miles south of the quake. My daughter Sheon said, they, ran out of the building it was that strong and scary.
We live near Nagoya, near the center, but where the circle is below Nagoya, by Mikawa Bay (not noted) is where we live. Sendai, North of Tokyo is near where the worst has been affected.
Taka's uncle lives in Tokyo...midwife, old friend Lena and Shunji's son Yuya is in Tokyo...who says he is fine. So, the combo of S.C.High's win and Japan rocking is mind blowing today. March 11th...
Below, are a few photos from the evening of the win though.
And I missed taking a beautiful photo of old friend BJ, who also came and worked for my school in Nishio! She lives with her husband and 13 year old son- who also happens to play basketball, in Grass Valley, RIGHT by where the game was last night. They came and cheered for the boys too!
Santa Cruz High won 72-43.
Boarding the chartered bus afterwards, the celebratory boys were on their way home~ parents hanging out outside to see the bus head home, getting back home at 12:30 am.
