So we played the juggernaut last night. We were tied 10-10 at the end of 1Q, down by 9 but competing at the end of the half. We still got blown out but put up 27 points which I consider a minor victory. D-bag coach of the other town (yeah, I'm talkin' to you) kept fast-breaking and playing M2M even when he was up by 20. We gave a couple of hard fouls, so all was not lost. Now we gotta stop turning over the ball 2 out of every 3 times up the court. We have a winnable game this afternoon at another town outside my perimeter...hope to get the first W there.
Baseball practice began in earnest last night... you can definitely tell who's even looked at their gloves since the season ended. Some catching and throwing, sprints and baserunning drills and 45 minutes of hitting to shake off the rust. I only had 2/3 of team there for a variety of reasons. This is a 12U, so if you can't hold your end of the bargain up with practice and hard work, you will get to play "left out", if you catch the drift of Coach SoulSlam.
10U team looked real rusty from what I could see. I had to put a scare into a couple who decided to free swing outside the safety of the tunnel. Not the brightest kids there.
Adios.
