League Opener

So, me 8th grade travel team plays in two leagues. One is whee we play on weekends and pretty much get housed most of the time. Playing bigger towns will do that. We use that as a way to play better competition and get on the court. See last week's post.

The other league is the NJJBL (North Jersey Junior Basketball League), where we play teams that we match up with in terms of talent and size. We've been playing in this league for years. Won the championship of our division as 5th graders. Played to semis as 6th graders (but won championship of Bergen Travel League); and last year...when we lost in semi-finals by one point after two overtimes and five (5) of my top 8 on the bench, all fouled out. That's where we open tonight. Playing a team that beat mine late last season by 1. We were tired then. Lot of hoops. Fresh tonight.

Need a W.
