Week one.

The Church was hoping to rebound from a down week last week. It was Easter Sunday, so a drop-off in hooping was to be expected. This week, however, was another down Sunday.

We managed to find a tiny kid named Lee, shooting hoops by himself and have two 4-on-4 runs.
My team won both games by slim margins. I drained two three-pointers at the end of the second game and went out on a high note. Good to have some redemption after the A-Train got my goat about pushing him on defense.

The A-Train is about 6'4'' 250. I am 6'0'' 220 on a good day. His favorite move is catching the ball about 15 feet out, spinning, and then bull-dogging whoever happens to be in his way after the spin. It's a brutal move, but I'll defend it, usually by pushing him off his spot with shoulders and waist.
Physical, but nothing to gripe about. But A-Train griped. So it was redemption to hit the game-winner over him.

Plently of injuries. Opie flopped as usual. Fuego did something bad to his hand. Maybe it's broken. Fuego is usually unstoppable on the boards but did very little today, and got housed a couple of times by Indiana Mike.

All and all, not a great day for the Church of the Hardwood.

More next week.
