The game was still close at the end of the 3rd with Wilmot winning by 3. It was a tie game in the middle of the 4th but then Waterford made some clutch shots to make them ahead.

Repo men

Repo men 2010 April 2

In the future humans have extended and improved our lives through highly     sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs created by a company called “The Union”. The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is that if you don’t pay your bill, “The Union” sends its highly skilled repo men to take back its property… with no concern for your comfort or survival. Former soldier Remy is one of the best organ repo men in the business. But when he suffers a cardiac failure on the job, he awakens to find himself fitted with the company’s top-of-the-line heart-replacement… as well as a hefty debt. But a side effect of the procedure is that his heart’s no longer in the job. When he can’t make the payments, The Union sends its toughest enforcer, Remy’s former partner Jake, to track him down.

At only 23 years old, Shaun White has accomplished more than more will ever dream of.  Coming out of San Diego California Shaun started revolutionizing the sport of snowboarding at an early age.  Burton noticed the skill and potential of the young Shaun White, and sponsored him at the age of 13.  With the support from Burton, he turned Pro at the age 13.
