On Saturday, February 7, we traveled to Berlin to play the 4th place team our league. Even though we beat them by 30 at home, we knew it would be a tough game because we'd only have 6 eligible players. Between injuries and people deciding that practice was optional, I knew I wouldn't really have a viable substitute and would have to log 36+ (out of 40) minutes.
Just as advertised, the game was even the entire way. With :23 seconds remaining the other team was down 3 with the ball. We bore down defensively and corralled a long rebound as time expired to secure the win. In 37 minutes of play, I had 19 points and 10ish rebounds. I was prepared for bad officiating, so I wasn't super surprised that I didn't get the calls that I should've gotten. My numbers weren't spectacular, but I was satisfied with my play because I made some tough shots down the stretch. Nick finished with about 12 points and 8 rebounds.
The first place team lost last weekend so we have a chance to win the league without any outside help. I'll mention more about the particulars of that when the time comes; but for now, the focus is winning next week in our (insert triumphant music here) home debut of the new year.
In other news....
I am now an independent business owner. It was just a little investment and my short term goal is only to make some extra change to help with student loans, but other people have been able to retire after 5 years. I am going to start another blog that will go into more detail and I will link it to this one.
Oh yeah.....
GOOOOOOOO STEEELERS
