Off the Bus, Onto the Court

Five of our eight varsity players got home from a week-long mission trip at 2pm. They met back at the school to leave for a basketball game at 6pm. A week of no practice and an eight hour drive don't make for success on the court! On top of that, our big guy--a junior, our leading scorer and tallest player--was gone on a family trip. Hmm. A five guard offense.

Again, our boys played with lots of heart and hustle but took a beating in every other way. Aaron tied for second leading scorer (again) with his nice 3-pointer in the 3rd quarter. He again took two called charges! Now our league mandates no practice days through Christmas week. We return to play next Saturday. In a tournament. Against bigger schools. Yikes! Our boys need some consistent practice time, but because of football playoffs and now holidays, that hasn't happened yet. 

We're just glad for a week off from everything. 

Merry Christmas to all!
