Two Nail Biters

Will’s JV team edged a tough opponent last night, on the road. DJ hit a foul shot at the end to go ahead. Connor had 22 even though the tight, physical defense shut down most of his drives to the basket. When he did drive, few fouls were called by the inconsistent refs. Will started again, and played some prime minutes down the stretch of the tight game. He battled inside and just missed some close shots. He’d never been in such a physical game before. On defense DJ had to play center.

The varsity game shouldn’t have been close, as Flight was undersized. Three or four technicals were called on the other team. The games were at Covenant, the big church on the corner of Fairground and the North 120 Loop, not far from the Marietta Square. Flight took the lead with 15 seconds left, but Covenant hit a long three just before the buzzer. DJ had 19, and Travis 28. I stayed up til one posting the varsity recap…I’ll have it on the blog soon.

Will is going to the Clemson/SC game…they’re looking for me a ticket. Looks like I’m going to more football games in 2008 than baseball games (pro/college).
