Hope the blog police don't get mad at me for the title.
Travel hoops this weekend. Let's start with the 4th grade team.
Went to a faraway (well 25 miles) town yesterday to play a game in a tiny gym. Played really well, great D, came within 3 points with 2 minutes to go. Couldn't seal the deal. Lost 24-19.
Then today comes and my team couldn't do a thing. We lost 26-6 (I can't look at scorebook so I'm hypothesizing here) - but it wasn't that close. We couldn't handle the ball, couldn't pass, played slow D, and generally looked really terrible. I guess it could have been worse since this team we played has lit up everybody. And we get to play them again next Friday. Can't wait. Gonna have to change a couple of things this Thursday at practice.
Now the 7th grade team. So we have a team of 7th graders, not the tall ones either. OK. The league we play in can be 7th or 8th or combined, and we played the biggest town in the area's 8th grade team. Guess what? They were really TALL. And thick. So we looked like David vs. Goliath, only this time the slingshot wasn't working. Got crushed. Lost 46-17. They probably could have scored 100 if they really wanted to.
Basketball. Rough weekend.
