My A team is getting better....

...but my B team is....well.....how can I say this nicely? Uhhh....they're horrendous! They have yet to win a game and their prospects are not looking very bright. They don't dribble well; they don't pass well; they don't shoot well; they don't play defense well, and they don't rebound well. Is there anything left?

Tonight, in the B team district tournament (we lost in round 1 so we went to the losers bracket), we played a team that lost for the first time this year last night, that to the only undefeated team in the district, and that by only three points. Well....I'll bet you can guess where this is going! If you'd like to see replays, you won't find them on YouTube, but you can find a reasonable facsimile at your local video store. Go the the "Classics" section, pick out one of those old "Christian Vs Lions" movies, and cheer for the Christians; that's us!

The game was 21 to 2 when I told them to just run the clock....with 4 minutes to go in the first half!!! The final score was 35 to 6. How we managed to score 6 I'm not sure. Don't you usually have to be able to get the ball across half-court to score?

Oh well....look up "hideous" in the dictionary; you'll probably find footage of this one in there! - Dan
