Well, the Trojans won a thriller on Monday night. We were playing a team that we've played three times already this season. The first game wasn't that close, we got thumped the second game and then we lost the third game by one. So we went in with nothing to lose (except another game). Anyway, we were on fire in the first half scoring 26, which is pretty high for a freshman game. Then we started to pull away in the 3rd quarter, going up by 9 at one point. However, in true Trojan fashion, we allowed them to get back in the game and eventually go up by 3. Still, we didn't quit and we scratched and clawed until we were down by 1 with the ball in our hands with 25+ seconds remaining. We worked it around, showing patience, almost too much. I'm screaming that we've got to get a look before the buzzer. Well we pound it inside and get a great look...no good, we rebound and go right back up, basically a freebie...no good, same guy gets the rebound goes back up and is fouled with 4 seconds left. He hits the first, nothing but net and the call a timeout. So I draw up the defense, clearly explaining what we will do "after the make." So we're back on the court shot goes up, cling, clang, dink, donk...it drops after hitting the rim what seemed like a dozen times. They try a last second heave, but come up short. It was a real confidence booster going in to the final game of the season this Friday.
Larry, I just received my copy of Donald Miller's new Searching for God Knows What. I've only read the first couple of pages, but I think it's going to be as thought provocative and entertaining as Blue Like Jazz. I highly recommend Blue Like Jazz, as I think Larry would as well. It's a fresh view, that causes you to think and laugh (out loud at times) about being a Christian in today's world.
The camera work is amazing in this commercial. I just don't know how they were able to superimpose that guy in place of Phil.
Hope everyone is having a great week. We've got Friday off. Paarrrrttttaaaaayyyyy. Well, not really. I still have to drive to school for our b-ball game.

I plan on reading that book once Life slows down. Read my next post.
Good job with the team. I knew threatening Dogs would do the trick. Coach Arndt would be so proud.
Wait, wait, wait...
Why the props to Phil. I seem to remember a certain competition on a certain club team where the goalkeeper out-juggled the entire team. Now, who was that dexterious juggler??? Oh yeah, ME!
Very true Larry. I remember that Saturday morning at Huntsville High like it was yesterday.
