2nd Term March Madness, Baby!

Hey this is Kristen Cole filling in for Jennifer Farley again.  Tonight might be one of my all time favorite nights in Kamp.  It was a tribal battle to the highest order.  What makes the night so fun is the build up that takes place throughout the afternoon. Girls are split into basketball teams within their tribes (Go Kicks and Kiowas!). Each team is assigned a college to represent. We saw marquee matchups between "schools" like Arkansas, Kansas, and Kentucky, but in the end, it came down to Ole Miss (Kiowas) and Texas A & M (Kickapoos).  Ole Miss came a way with a two-point win over the Aggies.  There was also an MVP game, featuring a hand-picked player from each team. The Kickapoos walked away victorious.

Basketball is just a small part of the day's fun.  What makes me love Madness is seeing the girls going all out for their tribe.  Some are painted from head to toe, some are in costumes that make no sense, everyone, though, goes all out for their tribe. Its a night full of energy and fun. From the tip-off, to the half-time show, to the final buzzer, K1 lights up with fun during March Madness.
