March Madness





At school everyone has been talking about March Madness, the NCAA basketball tournament. Each team is ranked and the top 16 teams from each part of the U.S. get to enter the tournament. Many of the guys at GBN have been talking about who they put in their brackets, and who they thought would be in the final four. Personally, I picked Syracuse, Ohio State, Kentucky, and Kansas. I also believe that Kentucky is going to win the whole intire tournament. People tell me that I am crazy for putting Syacuse in the final four, but I believe that they are going to suprise some people and make it to the final four. Many people don't think that girls participate in March Madness, but I am really interested in it. Currently, I am in 2 pools. 1 pool is against my friends and the other is against my dad. My friends are not betting, but against my dad we are betting for Ice Cream. It has always been an old tradition and we plan on keeping the tradition as long as possible. The first few games begin this week and I hope that I can catch some games this weekend!!



Blackhawks Begin Their Climb

Recently, the Chicago Blackhawks have not been doing too good. The Hawks managed to drop from 1st place to 6th place. No one is really sure why the Hawks starting loosing games so suddenly, but the good news is that they started winning games. They are on the hike back to the top. Currently, their record is 36-25-7. In the last 10 games, they have won 6 and lost 4. Some leading scorers include:
- Marian Hossa (27 Goals)
- Jonathan Towes (29 Goals)
- Patrick Sharp (25 Goals)
- Patrick Kane (16 Goals)

Hopefully the Hawks will continue their winning streak. I don't think they will make it into the championship this year, but there's always next year.
