Today.... started off interesting...

So today I coached my third game of the eight game season and this was the first time ever I felt really connected with my team... we finally cut all the BS... they cooperated and we got some good shots in... defense was awesome... and overall even though we lost.... Today was a victory!! I was very proud and happy with each and every one of them... But there real reasons why I think we lost is because the other team was pulling out "the big guns" they had this monterous 7th grader... which in reality looks to be a high schooler... and also a Special kid came onto the court butt naked.... he really wanted to play some basketball LMFAO... the team and the coaches all left the gym and the cops came... and that was during the second quarter... which started to be our downfall... Damn that streaker!!! haha
