There is a reason why we have pre season scrimmages...

Since our captain is gone over the weekend I figured I'd post something

OK so for those of you that did not hear, the scrimmage on Thursday night against No Contest did not go well. We had 7 NBA players (plus John Davis), and we lost our first game 15-3, then second game 7-3, then third game 4-2. It was not good.

A lot of things contributed to these results. First off, we didn't have that many people which always sucks. Also I don't think any of us particularly played the greatest individually and as a team we had very little flow. No Contest is a good team, as I have been saying, and they will be a challenger all year long, but we lost that game because of our own mistakes.

But hey, now it's time to fix those problems. It began that night as we improved drastically as the games went on and it should continue through practices. And really I think the greatest thing that everyone can do is simply reaffirm your dedication. Keep the discipline up to show up to all the regular practices (Mondays at 5PM and Fridays at 4PM). Have the determination to avidly learn all you can about the game, making sure you know all aspects of important team strategy. Focus during our times together as a team so we can put the time in to get the experience and flow down. And work hard every day, pushing yourself with intensity and fire so that we will always play competitively and athletically.

We have a lot of work to do, but if truly commit ourselves to this dedication we can have fun, improve, and do well this summer.
