Last night, we had our first basketball game of the inaugural season of the Perrine Baptist Basketball League. I was worried that I wouldn’t have a full team since of the seven guys on the roster I couldn’t get a hold of three of them and a fourth didn’t have a car. But I was lucky enough to pick up a fourth man (who ended up being the best player on the squad) and I was able to secure my UM buddy, Ryan, for a fifth. Anyways, my knee is still incredibly tender and I shouldn’t have been on the court but I was going to take one for the team. The good news is that we won. The bad news is it was by forfeit. We were able to scrimmage against a pick-up squad and lost 30-42. I started off pretty well scoring the first bucket for our team. As the game went on my mobility slowed and my knee really started to bother me. During the second half I was completely ineffective. I could barely walk down the court. I finished the game with four points, one steal, one block and three assists. I need to play better next week.
