 As you already know we won our first game. These are some pictures from the game one of which is the final score. This week I was not apart of any practices. Tuesday was a golf tryout and today Coach Durby was not feeling well so he canceled practice. I am anxious for next week so that I can get back to work with my team. As I've been thinking about our last game I have realized that my team is a lot better than what I thought. The kids showed good judgment and played very well as a group. I can not wait to see them perform in another game. It's time to get back to work and obtain another W.

Game Time

Today was the first game. We won 45 to 29 and played an outstanding game. At first the other team was destroying us on the glass but we held our heads high and played with what we had. Once our guys started running out in transition we started to build a stout lead and the rest is history really. My player of the game has to go to Romani, our starting point guard. Without him our transition game and defense would have been non-existent. The most improved player from what I have seen in practice goes to Xavier. He worked his tail off and hustled every play. Over all we had a great game and it looks like we will have a great rest of the year!

There Ain't No Way

Our first game was suppose to be today, but it was canceled. Our season was short enough as it was, so this does not help. I am ready to be on the sidelines coaching the game I love. Practice can be fun, but I know the games will be so much more fun. We also did not have any practices this week which was also a bummer, but its all good. I will be fired up and ready for practice and games next week. I'm excited and ready to do work! Let's get it.

Go With Whatcha Got

This week was an okay week. My team had a great practice on Tuesday, but today was not as great. Tuesday the kids were hustling, listening, and when they made mistakes they made quick corrections. Today they were tuning the coaches out, walking to their places, and seemed to not pay attention to their mistakes. They did better towards the end of practice so it was not a complete bad day, but it did drag a little. I am finding that I am getting more vocal with the kids. I am giving advice, praise and constructive criticism naturally. I am enjoying the practices, but it is time to get down to business and prepare for next Thursday's game. We just need one more good practice and I think we will be okay. Go Crusaders!
