Fourth grade Flat Stanley project
Flat Theron and Flat Lauren spent some time recently visiting their cousin (Kayla Berg...Morgan and Aubrey's sister) in Australia. They were sent back with a jar of "Vegemite", which is a spread that Australians put on their toast for vitamins. The label says that it gives you "vitality". Kayla requested that we take a picture as the 4th graders are getting their first taste of Vegemite...here is the reaction to this Australian favorite...

GATOR BOYS LOSE PAIR OF GAMES AT HOLIDAY TOURNAMENT
Coming off a much needed Christmas break the BGMR Gator Boys Basketball team traveled to Northern Cass School (North Dakota) for the Northern Cass Holiday Tournament. In the first ever meeting between Medina-Pingree-Buchanan and the Gators the Thunder were able to capitalize on 23 Gator turnovers and poor Gator free throw shooting to come away with a 49-43 victory over the Gators.
The Thunder would take a 22-15 lead into halftime. The Gators were in the holiday mood as they generously gave the ball away when they were on offense. Although the Gators came out in the second half and managed to tie the game BGMR was a horrific 9 for 25 or 36% from the foul line. This spelled the doom for the Gators as the simply gave away to many offensive possessions.
Aaron Dostal continued his strong play as he had 15 points and 10 rebounds. Matt Howell scored 8 points with no other Gator being close to double figures. Nick Blaskowski poured in 22 points for the Thunder. He was joined in double digit scoring by Cody Horn who notched 11 points. The loss pushed the Gators into the third and fourth place game where they would meet Park River-Fordville-Lankin.
AGGIES BLOW OVER GATORS
Gator Nation traveled through some treacherous road conditions but were left with disappointment as a young Park River-Fordville-Lankin team cruised to a 48-34 victory over the Gators. The Gators trailed at halftime 24-21 but were again able to tie the game midway through the second half. Unfortunately the common turnover theme crept up on the Gators again as they had 32 turnovers for the game. The Aggies blistered the net from 3 point range as they made 9 of 16 (56%). BGMR had no answer for this and suffered their 5th loss in a row.
Aaron Dostal continued to lead the Gator offense as he had 21points and 6 rebounds. Darius Watson had 6 points and Brayden Larson had a career high 8 rebounds. The Aggies were led by Jordan Johnson who had 22 points, killing the Gators with 6 three pointers. Spencer Rehovsky netted 9 points for the Aggies.
The Gators are going to have to do a much better job of taking care of the ball as they start the second part of their season. When BGMR has limited their turnovers and shot moderately well they have put themselves in position to win. Unfortunately, this has not been occurring enough. Lack of effort cannot be questioned as several Gator players are giving it all they got. Things will not get any easier for BGMR over the next few days. Today the Gators travel to Warren to take on a streaking Warren-Alvarado-Oslo team. The Ponies are playing well and will be a tough match-up. BGMR will continue the grind when they travel to Baudette tomorrow to take on the Lake of the Woods Bears. The Bears have struggled this season but BGMR is in no position to overlook any team. The Gators hope to start playing some good basketball and get all cylinders firing at the same time.
Team Of The Year!
Congratulations to the Gator Girls for being the #1 WDAZ Team Of The Year!!

GATORS ADVANCE TO COSOLATION CHAMPIONSHIP
Limiting their turnovers and shooting 70% from the free throw line were huge factors in the BGMR Gators defeating the Red Lake County Rebels 68-48 in the second round of the NCTC Holiday Tournament. The Gators were efficient on offense as they managed a season low 15 turnovers and a season high 49% shooting from the field. BGMR also went 14 for 20 (70%) from the charity stripe.
The Gators got a strong effort from the whole team. Wyatt Peppel scored a career high 17 points. Darius Watson poured in 14 points along with 7 assists. Aaron Dostal continued his solid play with 9 points and 9 rebounds and Logan Dvergsten played his best game of the young season scoring 8 points.
The Rebels got solid play from Drake Engelstad who had 17 points and Luke Newton who dumped in 15 points. No other Rebel however scored more than 5 points and the Gators held the Rebels to 30% shooting on the night. Even with this, the Gator coaching staff was not impressed with the lack of communication by the Gators on defense and allowing the Rebels to get several open shots. Getting back to defensive basics will be an area of emphasis for the Gators in the practices to come.
The win pushed the Gator record to 2-3. BGMR will now face the Stephen-Argyle Storm for the consolation championship of the tournament. The Storm pounded the Gators just over a week ago and BGMR will need to continue with their improved play to compete with the strong Storm team. Game time is 2:45 on Thursday. Gator Nation needs to slip out of work early, brave the harsh temperatures and root for this hard working team. Gator Nation has been positive so far this year and the team has reacted well to this positive nature.
