Bobcats Suffer First Loss

My boys lost their first basketball game tonight 19-17. All in all, it was a great game and the boys played really hard. We were short one man tonight and that hindered our rotation a little but overall I am really proud of the boys. We needed to shoot a little better from the foul line tonight though - Bradley was 0-4 on his free throws which is really unusual. However, he did a great job rebounding - so good that after the game was over, the referee stopped to ask him how old he was and who taught him how to box out - after a quick nod to indicate I was the instructor, the ref proceeded to compliment him on doing such a good job. That was a great off the ball comment for the ref to make. It could be a quiet day tomorrow as my voice was pretty much gone during the 4th quarter. We'll keep working hard and get ready for next week's game. TR has escaped our blast of cold weather with a trip to New Orleans for the Fench Tech trade show - he'll be back late Saturday evening - managing to miss our coldest nights. Bradley is supposed to have baseball practice Friday evening if its not too cold - at least its still sunny and we should be back to our normal 70s next week. Stay warm everyone!
