The girls are dominating our family bracket! Karen took the lead from Avery after a perfect showing in the Sweet Sixteen. Avery is right on Karen’s heels, still defending the trophy. In the time between the two days of games in the Sweet Sixteen, all of the girls were ahead of all of the boys. Damon was livid. He was especially angry about Avery’s performance. He said, “Daddy and I watch hundreds of college basketball games every year, and Avery watches less than 15 minutes every season. Why is she leading?” He’s learning that this bracket challenge is just a crapshoot!
