Well I told you I would write more once I had some good news to report about basketball. Well, after this mornings game, now I do. We won a nail biter 27-26. The kids hung in there really well throughout the game and staged two 2nd half rallies (down10-14 at the half and down 19-24 late in the 4th) to tie it up as well as take the lead, only to loose the lead and then get it back for good once more with 26 seconds left. I spoke with the opposing coach after the game and he was telling me about the scouting report he had on us (seriously he got a scouting report from another coach on us, for U12 rec league bball). He said that he knew even though we were 0-3 we were "sleeping giants" (I think they were 2-1). Hopefully it's true and we turn it on for the tournament at the end of the year.
Now if you noticed the header of this post then you must realize there is some bad news coming. Unfortunately Andrew left his jersey sitting on the couch. He didn't realize it until we walked into the gym. By then the game was supposed to start, I am the coach so I couldn't leave, we drove the van with all the car seats so Mom wasn't able to load the girls up and bring it over and because they track stats they wouldn't let him borrow one from someone else (because of the numbering on it). So Andrew didn't even get to play in our first win. He did do a good job cheering on his team from the bench though.
Hopefully next week I will be able to post one of these titled Good News Good News.

Nice job coach! Bummer about Andrew's jersey...
How detailed was this scouting report anyway? I mean, I can understand knowing who the best scorer is for defensive planning or the like, but was this a multi-page detailed statistical analysis w/ tendencies, etc.?
