Road Loss
February 26, 2010
This update is overdue, but last Sunday we lost to a desperate Venice team on their home court 74-68. It was a difficult game. They are at the bottom of the standings, but they won’t be there for long as they have gotten some new players and improved. It’s tough playing a team at the bottom of the standings at this time of year. For if they end up in the last two spots, they move down a division, so they fight hard!
Combine that with the inevitable home court favor and it wasn’t easy. But if we had made a few jumpshots, we would have won. They just didn’t go down. I am hopeful they will this coming Sunday when we play a tough Vigevano team at home.
I ended the Venice game with 17 points on 5-12 shooting. Would have liked to have hit two more threes, but that is sometimes how it goes.
Big Win

Got another big win yesterday over a difficult Veroli team. It was a home game and Veroli was just one win behind us in the standings. Having won the game by nine points, we hold the tiebreaker over them if we equal their win total at the end of the year.
We now remain one game behind the leader with 10 games left to play. We have been playing good basketball over the past few months, so I am hopeful it can continue.
I ended the game with 21 points and played pretty well overall. Next Sunday we play in Venice. Though their team is towards the bottom of the standings, they are difficult to beat and starting to play much better. I am hopeful we can stay focused and get another win.
Great Road Win

This update is overdue, but we got a good win over the first place team last weekend. At their place nonetheless. We are now one game behind them, with a big game this weekend against the team right behind us. Of course, all the games are big when you are fighting for first place.
Until later…
