Cousins turned out in force to cheer for Moriah Miller and the Centennial High School Cougars in the Class 4A state high school girls basketball championship game Saturday night (3/21/09) at the Target Center in Minneapolis.
The Cougars lost 68-61 to Minneapolis South, which was led by that team's dynamo unstoppable superstar
Tayler Hill, but played well nonetheless, and hey, No. 2 in the state is TERRIFIC! Of course, Mo is always No. 1 with us.
Here are some snapshots. We regret that we don't have any of cousins Sam, Bridget, Tyler, Alex, Zachary, Ted, Jane and Katie, all of whom came to cheer but were lost in the crowd by the time our camera came out. Thanks for coming, all of you!

Mo, center left, and her teammates listened to Coach Jill Becken during the intense game.
The girls were teary-eyed to lose -- but hey! Look at that gigantic second-place trophy! Not bad! Almost as nice as the coveted Burnt Wienie Award trophy!
That's our Mo, headed to get her ribbon, reflected in the gigantic TV screens that hang over the Target Center.
Dad Chris Miller couldn't hoot and holler much because little Elizabeth fell asleep in his lap near game's end after doing a lot of exhausting hooting and hollering of her own.
Zachary and his UW-Stout pal Josiah came to cheer Mo on.
Zack took his turn carrying snoozing Elizabeth after the game. Seems like those two big strong Wolves players coulda helped, too.
Hannah and two of her lovely look-alike friends wore Centennial collars, scarlet and white.
Mary and Pam, looking a little loopy, after the game.
Mary and Pam, a little more composed.
