The Storm has Arrived
The storm that is the Boulder Creek Stake 2007-2008 Young Men's Basketball Season blew in on Saturday, December 8. It kicked off with a thrilling game featuring Highland Groves and Meadows, but it would be a shame to give anyting away, so go check out the results on the 07-08 Season home page!
The Storm Is Coming
Mmmm, basketball, basketball, basketball. The NBA Season has already kicked off, college has begun their season with tournaments all over the country, and high school basketball has just concluded it's pre-season tournaments and is getting it�s season underway.
That puts us at the beginning of another long road, that if traveled, will lead down a path of hope, happiness, sadness, triumph, and defeat. A grueling journey that only one will complete. It�s church ball, and it�s the journey to a stake championship.
Beyond this is a treacherous trail that leads to the top of a high mountain that few have dared to traverse, and only several have summitted. It requires guts, desire, and will power. Someone who is driven to get there, to get it done, one who pushes himself to do his best, because only the best will reach the top. It is the path that leads to a district championship.
There will be one who decides to take it all the way, to take it to the next level. It will be a long journey, but one, one will want it more than the others, one will desire the view from the top of this mountain more than all the rest, this is the one who will be ready, ready for the storm.
The storm is coming�.
The Monterey vs Highalnd Ranch game originally scheduled for Saturday, January 12, 2008 at 12:00 PM has been moved to 5:00 PM due to double baptisms.

Showdown of the unbeatens
The season is ony two weeks old, but already there have been many upsets, and it appears that this season will be far from what was preicited. There are only two undefeated teams left in the league after two weeks of play. Highland Ranch and Highland are both 2-0. They meet this week at the Boulder Creek Stake Center at 11:00 AM.
