Feeling Better

November 20, 2009 — Hey everyone. I’m back! A lot has happened since my last entry. We’ve had a fast start (8-0). It’s great to be undefeated early in our season.

Thanksgiving Break started Saturday (11/21), and everyone was ready to go home and see their families. I hope everybody comes back to pick up where we left off both on and off the court. We all need some rest to help us get healthy – get over our injuries and sickness. The flu hit our whole school and the team pretty hard. Martins, Marco, Roscoe & myself all missed some practice. The flu definitley hit me the hardest forcing me to miss a game. But the team took care of business anyways.

I hope when I return I maintain my focus in the classroom. The whole team made either the A or B honor roll 1st quarter. When we all get back there will be no time for distractions or goofing off as we have a tough stretch – 3 weekends out of state versus good teams. On the court, I hope there are no let downs.

Last thing here – Congratulations to Juwan Staton & Baye Keita for signing National Letters of Intent to play for the University of Dayton & Syracuse University. I didn’t sign, so looks like I’m waiting until the Spring to be certain. I wish the rest of my teammates good luck with their college choices!
